Life is an extravaganza! Figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge. On my way to Oahu to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had married in Tijuana, I was nabbed as a runaway. Eventually, the police let me go, but the rock band broke up. Our next stop: Disney World, where we trained to be chefs. More education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. For decades I researched, wrote, and spoke about a number of gloriously nerdy topics. Retired now, I’m still married to the same sweet guy and live with him near Palm Springs, California. In addition to Love, A Foot Above the Ground, a sweet story of love and loss set in the 1960s, I write the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series set here in the Sonoran Desert. It is a spectacular place to ponder life’s mysteries while relishing the delights of the desert resort cities. The books in this series are romantic mysteries with a dash of humor, Book 1, A DEAD HUSBAND, was released December, 2013. Book 2, A DEAD SISTER, released April, 2014. Book 3, A DEAD DAUGHTER, out soon. Love, A Foot Above the Ground, is a kind of prequel to the Jessica Huntington series and features two of the main characters in those books. Thanks for reading!
