About the Author

I am a retired educator who finally found the time to write the novel I had been thinking about for several years. Much got in the way for quite some time. First it was my job , then it was fused glass art projects, and finally it was the move from Las Vegas to Bainbridge Island, WA. Now, though, I have no more excuses and so have written my first novel. My plans are to make this Maggie Hall novel the first in a series of books about a quirky columnist and her friends and lovers. In fact, the second novel is underway. In the meantime, I continue to work in my studio making fused glass objects, mostly for family, friends, and my home. My next goal is to start classes where others can get as enthusiastic about working with glass as I am.

Editorial Reviews

A new approach to a mystery novel. Fast paced...fledgling author knows Las Vegas, fashion, humor wrapped in a quirky female crime reporter. If you are looking for a quick, entertaining read, this could be the one.
