Profile Information:

Hometown:
Salem, MA
About Me:
I am a "woman of maturity" with a love of reading and writing, especially, mysteries and thrillers - keeps me out of trouble.

I'm an acute dialysis nurse and love it.

Mother of 3, grandmother of 8 and still healthy enough to roll around the floor. I love to write short plays for them and videotape their productions. They are amazing.

I'm a member of the Guppies and my WIP is a serial killer story where the killer has a running narrative throughout the book.

I love to dance, play guitar and piano and make quilts in my spare time. Lucky for me my other half is very in-touch with his feminine side and loves housework.
I Am A:
Reader, Writer
Books And Authors I Like:
The Red Tent, The Story of Ruth, Kiss The Girls, anything by Ann Rule or James Ellroy.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
The original CSI, Dragnet, Law & Order, The Closer, anything where a woman gets revenge in a smart and devastatingly permanent way.

    Dianne,
    I did not make it to Crimebake, but I've heard many good reviews. My only conference has been Mayhem in the Midlands, which I enjoy. I'm considering Bouchercon this year. Hope your short gets a speedy acceptance.

    Hi Diane,
    Sorry it has taken awhile to get back. So, you live in Salem? Then indeed it is a small world, but I have some thoughts on that.
    The book that I'm "trying" to write is a true mystery. It has not however reached a climatic end, so until it does, it's been difficult to visualize in it's entirety. This is largely due to the fact that I have to change real names of people and places, and develop other appropriate embellishments. The other issue I'm having regars time and place to work on it, especially during the bad weather, whereas I have to rely largely on public equipment at the moment.
    The book itself is based on the premise that we choose our lives before birth, and why would a person choose a particular life.
    If you are presently living in Salem; I would love to meet you. Do you ever go to the Parlor? If so let me know and perhaps we could exchange email addresses.
