A native Texan, I moved from Dallas to the Houston area to fulfill my dreams of creating art and writing. My working history as a legal assistant and paralegal inspired my mystery novel. In addition, my careers as a dancer and sculptor contribute to my plots.
I am presently president of The Final Twist, Houston Chapter of Sisters in Crime.
Robert Crais, the Kellermans, Lee Child, Patricia Cornwall, and many, many Texas authors
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
The Bourne Identity, Derailed, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
TV shows: City Confidential, 48 Hours, and Investigative Reports. Also, I do like CSI and Law and Order even though one has to suspend his belief system.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
City Confidential ... I've only seen it twice but its good.

Hi Betty,
I envy you your trip to England--we've been married 12 years but my husband has yet to take me home to visit. He says it's fear of flying, but I think he just doesn't want to see how much it's changed in the 26 years he's been here. His mother has come to visit a few times. So as it stands, everything I know about England comes from watching re-runs of "Only Fools & Horses" and "A Touch of Frost."
