From the Author:

I was born and raised in Calhoun, Georgia, and graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in journalism.

For my first book, Aunt Matilda's Ghost, a novel for children, I received the Excellence in Writing Award at the Winthrop College (now University) Writer's Conference for the best published book in that category by a South Carolina writer.

Raven Rock, a mystery for adult readers, published by Dodd Mead in 1986, was followed by Cry At Dusk in 1987. Carroll and Graf brought out Deadly Promise, a Christmas mystery, in 1989. All were published in England and were selections of several book clubs. Two were also published in paperback.

A fourth novel of suspense, The Widow's Woods, was published by Carroll & Graf in 1991, followed by Final Curtain in 1992, and Minerva Cries Murder in 1993. Angel At Troublesome Creek, the first in a mystery series featuring Augusta Goodnight, guardian angel "temp," was published in 1999 by St. Martin's Minotaur. This will be followed by An Angel To Die For.

A short story, "Waiting For Pixie", was included in a mystery anthology, MALICE IV, and I have published short fiction in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Mary Higgins Clark Mystery Magazine, and others.

I live with my husband, Gene, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, and we have two grown daughters and five grandchildren.

"A familiar sense of warning, like a hand on my shoulder, came and went so quickly I thought I must have imagined it. But I knew I hadn't; it had happened too many times before. I would have to be careful here
