You're amazing! What made you decide to become an author? Do you self publish? Growing up- and even now- who are some of your favorite authors?

Hi Maggie,
First of all, thank you! Next, funny story. I actually became a writer by accident. I never considered being a writer until I was almost forty, but my kids were in school full time, and I was looking for a new career. My husband said, "You always have your nose in a book. You should write one." And that's how it all started.
No, I have never self-published.
Growing up, one of my favorite authors was Walter Farley (the Black Stallion series). As I grew older, I read Stephen King, Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, and Elizabeth Peters I've always loved suspect and mystery. Thanks for your question!
