In her words
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a nurse. I quickly discovered this was not a wise choice, since I couldn’t stand the sight of blood. Next I wanted to be an actress. Unfortunately, my only talent onstage was that I could be heard in the back row.

Finally I decided to become a journalist. My original goal was to be Jane Pauley’s replacement on the "Today" show. Alas, I didn’t have Jane’s looks, poise, confidence, skill or wisdom. In fact, the only thing we had in common was that we were both corn-fed blondes from the Midwest. In my case, much more corn had been consumed.

So I ended up being a print journalist for 24 years. I worked for daily newspapers in Rock Island, Ill., and Madison, Wis.; for a Chicago-based trade journal that covered the radio and TV industry; and as special projects editor for the Indianapolis Business Journal. I started a couple of special sections for women, one of which won two state awards, while the other won a national award.

I began writing fiction several years ago, driven primarily by the desire to create and entertain. But I also try to share something of value by spinning tales that remind us we're all in this crazy mess called "life" together. I hope you can relate to my writing, even if it's just to share a laugh.

I’m happily married and have two overfed, underemployed cats.

Ten percent of my net royalties will be donated to two charities that serve people dealing with cancer: Cancer Support Community and Pink Ribbon Connection.
