About Me:

I'm a writer, writing instructor and a bookseller. I live with my husband, dog and cat in Northern Arizona, where I love hiking. In an earlier life, I enjoyed drawing and painting, but I rarely find time for it anymore. I write the Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Award-nominated Tracy Eaton mysteries, REVENGE OF THE GYPSY QUEEN, DEM BONES REVENGE and REVENGE FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE. I also write a supernatural mystery-urban fantasy series; the first book in that series, HIGH CRIMES ON THE MAGICAL PLANE, was recently nominated for a Lefty Award from Left Coast Crime 2010. I've also published some sixty short stories and am a two-time Derringer Award winner and a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee for my short fiction.

I teach writing online for the Writers' Program of the UCLA Extension School, and for various private groups, such as the Guppy Chapter of Sisters in Crime.

And with my husband, I own The Well Red Coyote bookstore in Sedona, Arizona.

I Am A:

Reader, Writer, Editor

Movies...Moonstruck and Throw Mama From the Train (my favorite writing instructor movie). TV...Life on Mars, Castle, Psych, The Daily Show, The West Wing, House, House Hunters and the Rachael Maddow Show.

  I'm looking forward to meeting you, too. I haven't met any other Crime Spacers.
  p.s. My photo on here is old, so just do age progression. *grin*

  Hi Kris, hope your So Cal tour went well. And I really liked your piece on authors behaving badly. Unfortunately, I think that's a trend in our society as a whole.

  Remember Goofus and Gallant?
  Read all about Goofus's drift to the dark side in 'Always the bad example.'
