She wrote the acclaimed Duffy To The Rescue with Tom Schreck as well as some very well received animal-themed haiku books with Diane Grindol. RESKU, DOGKU, BIRDKU, HORSEKU and PETKU are the haiku titles currently available. HAIKU IS THE SPICE OF LIFE is her cookbook with haiku (or haiku book with recipes!) Hot off the press is STAY HOME AND READ HAIKU, her 7th collaboration with Diane Grindol.

Tom is the author of "On the Ropes," "TKO,""Out Cold" and "The Vegas Knockout,"all "Duffy Dombrowski Mysteries". His stand alone thriller, "Getting Dunn" was released in 2012. The Duffy mysteries chronicle the life of a not-so-social social worker, always on the brink of getting fired, who is a bad professional boxer at night and whose best friends are a collection of lovable drunks. Duffy is part philosopher, part Robin Hood and all heart as he throws himself into helping those who can't help themselves. Then there's Al—his obstinate basset hound who prefers cheeseburgers, barking at Duffy and naps. But Al seems to show up exactly when it matters. Often described as a modern day, hipper and less perfect Spenser, Duffy Dombrowski knows the ghetto street and just how unforgiving they can be.
