I retired in 2011 after working most of my life for government (Mayor's Secretary, Sheriff's Secretary, Prosecutor's Paralegal, Plan Administrator (Indiana Legal Services).
My earliest writing was non-fiction. I wrote a syndicated column of political and social commentary for King Features Syndicate for 10 years. My work has appeared in publications such as Newsweek, McCalls, Sports Illustrated, USA Today and others. I currently write a weekly column for the Logansport (IN) Pharos-Tribune. I have two blogs - one for political commentary and one that revolves around writing. One of my columns won the Indiana Presswoman's Award for social commentary, then went on to win at the national award. Several of my columns have been published in textbooks.
I wrote my first novel, Magic Creek, in 1995. I have since e-published 5 novels via Amazon.com and Smashwords. Four of them are them make up a series and revolve around the same character, Rafe Vincennes.
All my novels are primarily adventure and are extremely graphic, both as far as sex and violence are concerned.
I have frequently taught Creative Writing classes and developed and taught workshops for organizations such as the International Women's Writing Guild.
