About me

Gender Female
Occupation Author
Location Baton Rouge, LA, United States
Introduction After 20 years as a librarian and another 20 as a professor of library science and library historian, I am moving on to my third career as a novelist. I was inspired to create the series and characters by an exhibit on the Couriers at El Tovar in the Grand Canyon. When not writing, I can be found reading, baking, gardening, and binging t.v. westerns. I have lived and worked in Utah, Puerto Rico, Texas, Spain, New York City, and Los Angeles. I currently live in Baton Rouge with my Australian husband and brown and white spotted rat terrier dogter.
