My Writing Journey

When I began writing, years and years ago, it was in the spirit of helping people survive and thrive through difficult times. The mother, nurse and counselor in me searched for ways to give wounded people answers—not so much to get rid of the problems, though that can happen, but to work through their struggles and come out stronger, more secure, and better able to cope with whatever life throws their way. If you are wounded and looking for hope and help, you may want to read The Humpty Dumpty Syndrome: Hope and Healing for Broken People, a non-fiction book for helping people through difficult times. (Now available on Amazon in Paperback as well as on Kindle.

Even now, after over sixty books, helping people continues to be my goal whether I write how-to books or novels; whether I write for adults or for children. These days I focus primarily on writing mysteries, and/or romantic suspense.

My newest ventures are with e-books and you can find many of my novels on Amazon or other electronic book sites. I've recently made available on Kindle, my newest romantic suspense series, The Artison Mysteries, Deadly Deception, The Quiltmaker's Daughter, and Watercolor Dreams, plus The Helen Bradley Mysteries, Death on Arrival, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, Red Sky in Mourning, A Haunting Refrain and When Shadows Fall. You can find a complete listing od my novels on my web site under the Books heading.

And check out my Writing Life blog where I posted my awesome Around the World cruise experiences and will continue to post my philosophies, thoughts and snippets of my occasionally adventuresome life. Oh, yes, I also love food and have developed The Healthy Norwegian Blog.
