While others girls dreamed of dating Brad Pitt, I wanted to take Sherlock Holmes to the prom. Today I'm a National Bestselling author and conjure up who-done-it stories for Berkley Prime Crime. I has two series, the Consignment Shop mysteries set in Savannah and the Cycle Path Mysteries on Mackinac Island.
I live in Ohio, have four kids and two grandkids. I'm a widow and have two cats Spooky and Dr. Watson who rule the roost. I love to garden. Flowers are my passion. Zumba is my way of trying to get rid of those donuts I have for breakfast.
I read Nancy Drew when growing up and it changed my life. I grew up in an era like Mad Men when men pretty much did all the cool stuff. Women could be teachers, nurses, secretaries and that was about it for a career. And then there was Nancy. She was smarter than the boys, always solved the mystery and she had a really cool car. I wanted to be Nancy!
I love anything Sherlock. My license plate is Shrlok.
I am crazy about the new BBC version of Sherlock. What great stories. And I love the TV show Gilmore Girls. Totally addicted. Great humor and very smart. I love the Stephanie Plum stories because we all need to laugh more.

I'm an Ohioan too. I used to have a cat named Spooky (calico with lots of black on her). I read Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, the Hardy Boys, and the Three Investigators. Later I moved on to Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. I've read all the original Sherlock stories so now I read ones that other authors write. I have a bunch of them. I like Jeremy Brett as Sherlock and not the newer interpretations.
