Bio
A native of Michigan, but a resident of New Jersey for thirty years, I now live in California with my husband of 48 years and our elderly ninety pound dog, Oscar. Our son and his family live nearby. We travel across country in an RV to visit our daughter and grandchildren on the east coast each summer; my husband drives and I write.I've had the good fortune to write full-time for the past eight years. When friends say I should take time off to do something fun, I cringe. There's nothing more fun than spending all day, and sometimes all night, writing! Except for spending time with my family and grandchildren, there is nothing else I'd rather do.
In a former life, I worked in the Operating Room for over thirty years as a registered nurse and now I can't stand the sight of blood. If anyone gets hurt at my house, someone always says, "Don't bother telling mom."
