About Me

I'm a mystery writer working on my first novel. Used to be a full-time college professor, decided that wasn't for me. Used to be a professional Girl Scout, decided that DEFINITELY wasn't for me. Sitting home in sweat pants inflicting bloody doom on imaginary people? That's for me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
