About Me
I live in Portland, Oregon and have worked in the medical industry for 31 years. Currently, I work as a Billing Specialist in a behavioral healthcare facility. I live with my sister and her cat, Kitters. I have been a storyteller since the age of 7. It was my aunt that introduced me to crime mystery novels; such as Ellery Queen and true crime magazine. I loved it ever since.
Interests
My interests are reading, quilting and cross stitch. Even these are a form of writing. A quilt can tell a story of the past or a persons spirit by design. And cross stitching always sets the scene of a past memory.
Favorite Books
My favorite books are mysteries, Fantasy, historical fiction, adventure and horror.
Favorite Authors
My favorite authors are Agatha Christie, Diana Gabaldon, Stephen King, Raymond Chandler, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Terry Brooks.
Favorite Music
While writing I like listening to smooth jazz, swing, country, classic R&B, classical music, and Celtic music.
Favorite Movies
Jaws, War of the Worlds, Dragonheart, all 007 James Bond movies, The Fog, all the Alfred Hitchock films.
Favorite Shows
Outlander, Inspector Lewis, Doctor Blake Mysteries, Homicide Hunter, Ghost Adventures, Father Brown Mysteries.
