I grew up in northern Oklahoma and attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated with a degree in Psychology. Jobs to support my writing habit, in no particular order, have been selling snow cones, working in an animal hospital, cutting down trees for a roadway in Yellowstone Park, tending bar, working for an oil company, a candy company, a research company, a communications company, a supermarket, owning a personnel service, and preparing records and forms for a group of psychiatrists.

I live in Houston, Texas, which is the setting of my last three Mystery novels. My published novels, in date order, are COVER HER WITH ROSES, NIGHT CALLS, MY DEAD BROTHER and LAWNMOWER BLUES.
