Born and raised in New York, I attended the State University of New York at Brockport and taught Kindergarten for several years. I migrated into Special Education equipped with a master's degree in Learning Disabilities.
Settling in North Carolina, the corporate world was calling. With my experience in teaching, marketing was the next logical step!
After a twenty year career with IBM, and the family safely launched into life, my husband and I retired to Buffalo, Wyoming. For variety and terrific weather we enjoy a yearly trek to Florida and other parts of the East coast.
Writing with the Chaffee County Writers Exchange opened a whole new world for me. GaGa and I collaborated to write a mystery short story as a fundraiser for the Leadville Mining Museum. We enjoyed creating that so much, we decided to try a cozy mystery series.
Our fictional town of Oresville is a small mining town in the high mountains of Colorado. Lots of history, characters, and puzzles for our gal, Phoebe, to solve.
