Born and grew up in Texas, have lived in Sheridan, Wyo., for 20-plus years. After playing Winter Texan down in Rockport (where I used to live) for a while, I am now a full-time Sheridanite. I am companion to three dogs, and slave to one cat. Spent most of my life writing for newspapers, but in 2006 decided it was time to write the fantasy/detective novels that were nagging at me. Shadow Path was the first, followed by Stormcaller, Deathtalker and Sister Hoods. More books are in the works. I love series books, because I hate to give up characters that have become old friends.
