ABOUT MY BOOK REVIEWS IF NO STARS, it means I know the author, so, on principle I do not review unless I absolutely adore the book—and I will tell you why. ONE STAR means I didn't like the book. FIVE STARS are rare . . . BIO “Tell me a story,” has been my question since birth. Since I love them so much, what better way to share the fun and interesting things I've learned than in writing stories myself? I'm a “retired” Navy wife who has lived all over the United States and even Hawai’i. Raised in San Pedro, California, a melting pot of many languages and cultures, I've traveled the world meeting people and laughing my way through ridiculous circumstances. I love history, music, books, reading, my terrific family, amusing friends, travel opportunities and irony. A New York Times and ECPA bestselling author of five novellas and a Navy SEAL novel, in 2017 I'm the biographer of Mrs. Oswald Chambers and essayist in Utmost Ongoing: Reflections on the Legacy of Oswald Chambers. IN 2018, I published A Poppy in Remembrance, a World War I coming-of-age story.
