Life Beyond the Lunchboxes

With my husband Jim on a recent visit to Charleston, South Carolina. We are sitting on an "authentic" Charleston joggling board. No one was ever able to give us a proper definition of joggling...

Like the heroine of my mysteries, I am a “soccer mom”* living in an old town that has become a suburb of Baltimore. But unlike my heroine, I am still happily married, active in my church, and visit every historical site I can manage. It took me almost 35 years to realize that I’d always wanted to be a writer. During those years, I worked at a variety of different jobs, serving as everything from a bookkeeper and preschool teaching assistant, to newspaper columnist, hostess in a hospitality suite at Nascar races, and corporate attorney for a pest control company. Being a mom is best the job of all, but I have to say that writing books runs a close second.

I'd love to hear from you!

*Actually none of my kids play soccer. We are into baseball and jumprope teams at this stage. But you get the idea...
