| My bio: I grew up on a farm in central Illinois and have also lived in Oklahoma, Indiana, the south of France, and Florida. A retired accounts payable manager, I currently reside in Colorado with my husband, Bill. Our four grown-up kids are spread out across the country: San Jose, CA; Brookline, MA; Oatman, AZ; and San Diego, CA. The first Sylvia and Willie mystery, The Prairie Grass Murders, was released by Five Star Publishing in February, 2007. Books in Motion released the audiobook on CD and MP3 download in October, 2008. The Desert Hedge Murders was released in August, 2009 and is now available by ordering at online booksellers and through your local bookstores. My first short story for middle-grade readers, When They Brought the Bulls to Arles, appeared in the third Mountain Scribe Anthology, released in May 2009. The Prairie Grass Murders and The Desert Hedge Murders will also be published as mass market paperback bookclub editions by Harlequin Worldwide. |
