I've also had articles on subjects as diverse as genealogy and baldness published in other magazines. My fiction has been published in Black Swan Review , Colorado Crossing, and Dogwood Tales .

Mysteries are my favorite genre, and Zeno's Forensics Pages is my first stop when I'm planning a murder. Romancing the Web is where you will find me when I've got love on my mind! Encyclopedia Mythica provides me with folklore and mythology.Inklings keeps me up-to-date on all the latest market information. Fellow writers in the Internet Writing Workshops critique my writing and provide me with lots of encouragement. Storybuilder helps me construct my fiction and A word a day keeps my vocabulary growing.

My favorite writer is Tony Hillerman, who writes about the two Navajo policemen, Leaphorn and Chee. When I'm not writing, I like to work with beads. I'm interested in staying healthy, and I look to the Self-help Sourcebook and Vegetarian Pages for advice. My cat insists I expand my mind with cat humor . My local library and museums are useful, but I like to drop in at the Library of Congress or the Smithsonian occasionally.

I live in Yuma, Arizona, which is in the Sonora Desert in the southwestern portion of the United States. Millions of years ago, everything here was a huge swamp where dinosaurs roamed. We still find the fossilized remains of them.
