When my brother came home from first grade in our small town
in Texas, I made him teach me what he’d learned each day so I could
start writing. I wrote my first story, a single sentence long, when I
was four years old, and never stopped.
In the ensuing 66 years, I’ve lived in Tennessee, California and Italy,
gone to college in Boston, and been a reporter and editor for two
newspapers and The Associated Press. I’ve covered news and wrote a TV
column for AP, taught writing, and sold more than 100 novels. Mostly
I’ve written genre fiction—romance, mysteries, and some ventures into
fantasy and s.f. Currently I’m self-publishing and enjoying the freedom
it brings.
Many of my books have a medical setting, including my
Safe Harbor Medical series (romances and a spin-off cozy mystery
series). My father was a doctor and I’ve always been fascinated by
medical topics. I also learned a lot about relationships while being
married for 40 years (happily), and about fertility and pregnancy en
route to having two sons.
