I knew I was going to be a writer when my mother took me to the library for the first time as a child. Since then I've written five award winning novels. My newest book, a cozy, mystery "Death by G-String, introduces the Coyote Canyon Ladies Ukulele Club whose first place win in a folk music competition is jeopardized when their star player is strangled to death with a ukulele G-string. I like writing books in small towns, the kind of small town people run away to or hide out in. The secrets and misbehaviors are so much more interesting. I know. I've lived in them. My newest book "Death by G-String" is a 2019 Colorado Humanities Book Award winner, an American Fiction Award finalist, a Colorado/New Mexico finalist, and was short listed for a Mystery and Mayhem Book Award. With no previous musical training, I came to the ukulele later in life and fell in love with it instantly. I now own five ukuleles, two guitars, and two dulcimers. I made my coffeehouse debut and I play at all my book signings. So now I can honestly say I WAS BORN TO BE A ROCK STAR, BUT I WRITE BOOKS INSTEAD. Currently I'm at work on a new mystery, "Death of a Two-Timing Man" and book two of the Coyote Canyon Ladies Ukulele Club series, "Don't Fret the Small Stuff." I'm also a reviewer for the New York Journal of Books. When I'm not writing, I can be found in the desert, the mountains or some far-flung corner of the Southwest. I love to hear from readers.
