About Me
My Writing
I have published articles and short essays on various topics. My first book, Stella's Quilt, published in 2023, I describe as "a memoir and a celebration". My second book, The Tonto Two-Step - a cozy mystery set in the Arizona desert - went live on October 4th, 2024. I launched A Murder at Rancho Manana, the second in the Saguaro mystery series, in November of 2025. I hope to complete Second to Die by fall, 2026.
My Speaking
I am a retired financial planner who holds a certificate in ministry. I often present on the topics of faith and money, but am now most eager to engage with others who want to write or tell their stories. My book talk for that audience is titled "Is There a Memoir in Your Future?". Please contact me for availability.
