About Me:
After spending over a quarter of a century in the computer business, I am now pursuing my first love--writing, especially mysteries. My mystery novels include:
FORGET TO REMEMBER--an amnesia mystery. Carol Golden isn't her real name. She doesn't remember her real name or anything that happened before she was found, naked and unconscious, on the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California.
RUN INTO TROUBLE--a footrace along the California coast in 1969 during the Cold War. But is the Cold War about to heat up? Winner Silver Quill award from the American Authors Association and named best Pacific West book by Reader Views.
HONEYMOON FOR THREE--suspense takes a thrill ride. Winner Silver Quill award from the American Author's Association and Reader Views award for best Mountain West book.
THE HAYLOFT: a 1950s mystery--bobby sox, slow dancing, bomb shelters, the communist conspiracy, and murder
HOTLINE TO MURDER--is the voice on the line that of a killer?
CATCH A FALLING KNIFE--sexual harassment, a stripper, murder in a college town.
THIRTEEN DIAMONDS--an unbelievable bridge hand, but you've got to survive to play it.
ACES AND KNAVES--gambling, murder and other hijinks in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

    I loved Honeymoon for Three, it was very easy to read and get caught up in.

    Congrats on the award!

    Sorry it took me so long to let you know what I thought of the book, but sometimes life just gets in the way.
