About the Author

The first important books in my young life were the Nancy Drew series. I've always liked humor and mystery, and I combined the two in my latest book, "The Cereal Killer," which takes place in Brooklyn in 1966, a time when I lived in Brooklyn and suffered through the transit strike of 13 days. I'm a retired school social worker and just moved to Florida. I like to play Scrabble, and watch the history channel on TV. I'm a widow, a mother, grandmother, and I like to brag that I'm a great grandmother. I'm working on a sequel to "The Cereal Killer." It's also a mystery/comedy entitled "Murder at the Beauty School."
