edit data

I spend my time staring into a computer screen whether working, writing, or editing. That’s why it’s so fun to hang out with my grandson, children, or walk outside. But burning easily makes it difficult to spend much time outdoors.

I come from a family of writers: my mom, my grandmother, and several other family members. When I'm not at the computer writing or editing, I'm discussing plots with any one of my children.

I do ask the advice of my cats. They have good ideas. The world holds a variety of sinister plots even if it is just someone waiting for the bus.

Check out my devotionals including Driving with Anna and Christian Cozy Mystery books including Planted Flowers series and the new Emily's Cat Mysteries.
