 brings the whole universe to order

Welcome

In 2008, I released The Woman in the Wing, a historical mystery about women pilots and factory workers during WWII. Read more about The Woman in the Wing. This spring, another mystery, Seven Cities of Greed, will begin its long journey to the top of the best seller lists. Most of the story takes place in New Mexico, where I spent twenty great years and involves a group of Chicagoans on a quest for adventure and, perhaps, the mythical 'Seven Cities of Gold'. Read more. 

My mysteries abound with interesting characters and facts, and contain a lesser amount of violence, bloodshed, and the sometimes overwhelming darker side of our nature. The protagonists are generally more seasoned women who either have, or seek knowledge and peace. The most powerful weapons I arm them with are good sense and humor. This allows you to read without gritted teeth or a knotted stomach. Those are the books I write, because they're the books I read.

You'll find within the pages of this website sample chapters of The Woman in the Wing, and Seven Cities of Greed, some examples of my artwork, a few smatterings of poetry, some Ezine articles I've written, such as What Does 'Tsk' Mean Anyway, or It is Not What You Think, and a number of short stories. Want to know more about me?

Please feel free to contact me with questions.

 

The Woman in the Wing

The Woman in the Wing is a fictional suspense thriller. July 1944—a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots struggles to land an A-24 dive bomber whose engine suddenly burst into flames. A week later, another WASP finds her life threatened when the rudder cables of a BT-13 training plane snap mid flight. Is it sabotage or mechanical failure? The work of Nazi sympathizers or washed out US Army pilots?

Woody Guthrie

1912 – 1967

"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard traveling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work."
