I am an author, lover of nature and chocolate, and a student of life. After spending most of my life on the Plains of Nebraska, my family took a major leap and moved to the Pacific Northwest. Although my personal story has taken some sharp curves, being in this environment has allowed my creative juices to flow like a giant river. Or at least a robust stream.
In addition to musing about life via “Age Schmage,” I have authored books multiple full-length novels, including the award-winning novels, The Story of Keilah and Welcome to Piney Falls:
The Pepperville Stories series encompasses five decades in the quirky town of Pepperville, Iowa. A new addition to this family is coming in 2022!
Piney Falls Mysteries take place in the fictional town of Piney Falls, Oregon. Around every corner is a new twist that will keep you on your toes! You wouldn’t believe the trouble these small-town friends find!
Emory Bing Mysteries are bite-sized stories you can read in a couple of hours! Emory and her cousin must obtain a recipe from each crazy cousin in order to inherit their millions. When you finish each story, there is a recipe at the end contributed by a reader!
Charming Mysteries is my newest series, set in the fictional town of Charming, Oregon. Retiree Gemini Reed can’t help herself, she has to solve any mystery that comes her way! With the help of her gifted friend, Feather Jones, they’ll uncover every deadly secret in Charming!
They are all available here:
Thank you for joining me on this journey!

“The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.”
