I was born and grew up in Wisconsin, but left right after nursing school. I've lived in at least six states, and one country abroad, settling at last in southeastern Colorado at the foothills of the Rockies. I'm married, a mother and a grandmother. Obstetrical nursing was my long time career, and other interests include gardening and hiking. I've always loved to read, and in the fiction category have a passion for mysteries of the like of Christie, Sayers, and Dick Francis.
