I am the former Speakers Bureau Director for Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles, and also a member of Mystery Writers of America. My latest short story appears in the anthology, Dying in a Winter Wonderland.
I collect Santas (over 3000 and counting)and other assorted Christmas decorations. I also have Halloween, Easter, Valentine, and Independence Day decorations. I craft many of them myself. I paint and build miniature dollhouses.
Married to a terrific guy, we have three dogs gracing our home.
