More about me

I've been a journalist, newspaper editor, and ad/marketing copywriter. I now write mystery novels for fun. I lived in Minnesota for about 30 years and have been retired in New Mexico for almost 4 years.

Favorite Movies

O Brother Where Art Thou? (anything by the Coen Bros), Chicago, The Sea Inside, tons of foreign films -- they only export the good ones

Favorite TV Shows

Project Runway -- the only one I try to catch weekly -- and it's seasonal.

Activities

line dancing, aerobics, writing, reading, studying Spanish

Favorite Charities

Salvation Army

Favorite Music

bluegrass

Favorite Books

I've read Cold Mountain three times, that's a record for me. I like mysteries, not violent thrillers. I love memoirs. Literary novels, if they're not about angst-ridden yuppies.

Favorite Quotes

Life is empty and meaningless And it's empty and meaningless That life is empty and meaningless.

Favorite People

My friends, my kids. I used to want to come back as Leslie Stahl in my next life.

Favorite Animals

All the horses, dogs and cats I've "owned" over the years; currently, my little Sheltie
