| Introduction | A native of Northern California and former ER nurse, I'm now a "Texan in training"--awed by initiation processes that include chili cook-offs, a first brush with fireflies . . . and an armadillo in my pool. My first funny & romantic cruise mystery, DRESSED to KEEL, was released by Midnight Ink in May 2006. Sequels AYE DO or DIE and MAI TAI to MURDER set sail this year. Grueling cruise "research" forces me to dress in sequins, sip Mojitos and "Chicken Dance" in shipboard discos around the globe. Rugged work, but I am dedicated. |
