About this author

Born and raised in Chicago, I’ve lived in Illinois, Massachusetts, Montana, France, Germany, and for the last 20 years Switzerland. My mother enrolled me in a French class when I was four years old, and I’ve enjoyed learning languages ever since.

I taught English in a public high school in France, then for a year in a private language school in Germany, then for another in Zurich, Switzerland. I ran a small business in Switzerland for 18 years before quitting to go back to my old, original dream of writing fiction.

Although the United States and especially Chicago call to me, I only return in my imagination most of the time. Both of my books, Doing Max Vinyl and Zombie Candy, are set in Chicago, although some of the action in my second book a...more


Every castle you’ve ever imagined looks like this, the one built by Ludwig II in the late 1800s.




Braving the elements of rain, wind, and cold, we went there today, Mom and I. After the long bus ride from Munich, we transferred to a horse and carriage. Here you can meet our horses, Rainer and Brigitte.



Mom and I with our horses


Rain could not prevent us from walking down the mountain, even if it...

I bought this book thinking it was going to be a satire of last year’s runaway erotic hit 50 Shades of Grey. Although I don’t usually pick up this sort of book, I highly enjoyed it on its own merits.

Jill, great to meet you too!

Sophia, it's no coincidence that there's an Ogden, Utah as well as its being a place name in the Chicago area. William Butler Ogden was the first mayor of the city of Chicago back in the early to mid-1800s, and he was a big proponent and investor in laying train lines out to the Pacific. The train line went through Ogden, Utah.

Sophia Hi Frederick!

Thank you for the friend request. Congrats on being a published writer. I confess that when I see Annie's last name that a town in Utah comes to mind. ;D
