About the author

I'm married to a terrific guy who retired after thirty years as a captain on the Sacramento City Fire Department. He's my hero and a hero to a lot of other people, too. If you'd like to know more about him, he's "Rick" in Disguised Blessing, a book that came out in 2000. We have both picked up cameras again and, with great enthusiasm, embarked on a second career. We have two sons, one incredible daughter-in-law and five brilliant and beautiful grandchildren--are there any other kind? The first grandson, John, (named after his grandfather) was the inspiration for my first book for Harper, A Marriage of Convenience, which was made into a CBS movie starring Jane Seymour and James Brolin. I'm an observer, a skill developed early during my father's migrant military life. By the time our family settled in California, I was a freshman in high school and had attended seventeen different schools throughout the country. Always being the "new kid" was hard and when I set down roots, I set them deep. But there's a wanderlust in my soul that can only be satisfied by travel, and I do so as often as possible. Two cats share our house, a silver tabby Maine Coon and a grey rescue with a clipped ear, of questionable lineage. She is the seven-pound master of this universe, controlling the eleven-pound silver tabby with sheer force of will and the belief that attitude is everything. I've learned a lot from this cat.
