Meet the author

No teaser this week. I thought it might be time for you to get to know me.

I grew up in Biloxi, MS and settled in Batesville, MS, near Ole Miss. Go Rebels! To get moving in the morning, I require a full pot of coffee and drink it black. It’s true that I have three cats. I rescued two from my neighborhood (I live in the country) then one decided this was its new home. I say ‘it’, because I don’t know what the sex of the cat is, and ‘it’ won’t let me check. They like to push their way onto my lap when I am in the middle of a scene, most often it’s a sex scene. I guess that it’s not unlike children who wait until you get on the phone then demand your full attention.

I was in the US Air Force 12 years. They did surgery on my foot so I could attend my commissioning class, and I got what I paid for. I am now a disabled veteran. After leaving the military, I went in higher education working at University of Phoenix. Within 3 years I was managing my own university campus in Wichita, KS and completing my Master’s degree. After 12 years, several moves and job changes, including College President in Dallas, TX, and University Vice President in Boca Raton, FL, I decided to retire. Now, I have plenty of time to write!

That’s me and my history in a nutshell. I’m not very exciting. I leave that to the characters in my novels.

I’d like to get to know you. I’m either writing or reading. I’m reading, well re-reading, Maya Banks Echoes at Dawn between edits. What are you reading or what do you like to read?

Talk to you next week!
