About Me


    follow me on Twitter .... ....
    Greetings. I am an author, artist and former model residing in Western Pennsylvania. I have just finished the last novel in my Benn Mac fiction series (maybe - we know how that goes!) titled "Interference". The series places emphasis on serious mainstream issues (mostly thrillers) yet complimented by splashes of romance to keep the plots from becoming a burden. There are a few books in the series so the best thing I can say is check out my website.On January 6, 2009 my most controversial book to date was released: "Blood Stained: When No One Comes Looking". Based on the life and crimes of serial killer David Edward Maust (who is no relation to me) the book delves deep inside a criminal mind considered by most forensic experts to be an anomaly.I am often invited to schools and libraries for book readings, and I have given interviews on NBC, FLY Magazine, In And Around Town Magazine, The Flip Side Newspaper, NWI Times, AP, Pittsburgh Live and many more.
    OK so that's the biz part. Here is me:
    I love music, art, reading, skiing, horses, breakfast in the bathtub, dinner in bed, my daughter's smile, my husband's embrace, my dog's wet nose on my ear, and I light candles during the day just because I like them.
    My favorite quotes!
    "On a blind man's arm is the safest place for a beautiful woman to be." ~ Ashley Judd in the movie "Eye of the Beholder".
    "Money isn't everything but it sure keeps you in touch with your kids!" ~ Unknown
    I am me :) Have a great day.
