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.

    Hi Dianne,

    Thanks for writing! My Mom is a mystery fan, too. But she leaned toward the hard boiled. I don't know how I wound up in the cozy "niche", but I like to think of my books as "soft boiled" rather than cozy! Best, Kathryn

    Dianne,
    Welcome to the club. James Lee Burke's first, eventually a Pulitzer nominee, was rejected 105 times. The record in rejections for an eventually accepted novel is over 400, or so I'm told.
