Welcome to Sassy Scribbling Publishing. Pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee, grab a scone or muffin, pull up a comfy chair or couch, and wrap yourself in a warm comforter. It's time to read a cozy mystery or two. See if you can beat the sleuths in solving the crime and outwitting the villains. And be sure to sign up for my newsletter, so you'll always know when a new book is available or what's going on with Fay Lynn, Gayla, or Norah and Ben.
ABOUT ME
Who​ would have guessed, all those years ago, that I would someday be able to say, "I am a writer!"?
​
I grew up an Air Force brat, which gave me the foundation to write creative stories -- I saw a lot of new places and met quite a few "characters" along the way. I still cherish the experiences and what they taught me -- flexibility, acceptance, respect, patriotism.
​
After graduating with a BAT from Sam Houston State University, I began my career as a teacher, starting out in first grade and, eventually, moving all the way to middle school and high school. Over the years, I taught general elementary classes (first and third grades), language arts, history, geography, economics, and computer literacy. I also found a love for teaching adults, with adult basic education, GED preparation, and English for Speakers of Other Languages classes.
​
Throughout that part of my working life, I wrote the occasional press release, many curriculum units, and related classroom materials, but writing was a sideline until about 2008, when I took a step past the light and became a freelance writer. Hundreds of articles, product descriptions and blog posts later, I found the opportunity to write fiction. I have now discovered my true career love!
