I am a married mom of two adult daughters, a son in law, and a couple of grandkids, living in a quiet little lakeside town in Iowa, where we move softly through each other's lives and there is no shortage of stories to tell around the bonfire, leading to endless amounts of material to use as writing prompts. After years of working as a dental assistant, ordained pastor and public health worker, I decided to rekindle my passion in life and start living again, kicking off my second half as a suspense and thriller author, letting the writing save me from what had become a very dark place in life. Now, here I am at this exciting second act. I am proud to be a new member of the International Thriller Writer's Association, and part of their Debut Class of 2023-2024. My upcoming crime thriller, Missing In Lincoln Park, was named a finalist in London's Page Turner Awards for Screen Adaptation, and is a current finalist in the 2026 Maxy Award competition for Mystery and Crime. My latest thriller, Ghosts in the Glades, won the 2024 Killer Nashville Claymore Award for Best Southern Gothic, and also the 2024 Maxy Award for Best Thriller. This ride is getting fun, and it just took a pen, notebook and 46 years of life, love and heartache to get here. Life is funny like that.
