I started writing when I was 6 six years old, and now, at 81, I'm going at it more than ever before! That first "book", printed in crayon, was CHIPPY THE CHIPMUNK, which my mother thought was a "literary masterpiece".
What followed was many adult years of trying to write several novels...fiction is my passion....and none of them were "good enough". But that was okay as I was busy learning my craft.
I did, however, get two non-fiction books published in the 90's....PART-TIME JOBS FOR FULL-TIME MOTHERS and CREATE THE JOB YOU LOVE AND MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY.
After retiring from multiple careers in sales, marketing, management, broadcasting and inspirational speaking, I've devoted my life to writing -- my great passion.
In 2013 two novels came out: THE CHRISTMAS CHAPEL and HEIRS OF ABRAHAM followed in 2014 by TURMOIL ON DeLANCEY STREET.
Now I have just published the first two of my Cozy Mystery series: TOO OLD TO LIVE and TOO BAD TO LIVE. The Tourist Town Mysteries, which are located in the charming mountain town of Hundred Pines and features two strong female sleuths will have a total of seven books in the series. TOO SWEET TO LIVE will be out in January, 2022.
Since I am also a biblical scholar and Bible Study creator and teacher, I have published the first three in the series of World Religions' Beliefs, THE BIBLE INVESTIGATES JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY,and ISLAM. The Eastern Religions and Cults will follow.
Since I have taught thousands how to understand the Bible, I have also just brought out a workbook to help people study and understand Scripture so that they can realize how relevant it is to life today. Called: A YEAR WITH GOD: A Personal 365 Day Bible Study Made Easy, it asks thought provoking questions about the biblical verses (chosen by the reader) that makes God's Word life-changing.
