I love to write both adult fiction - mystery and suspense, and middle grade magical realism fiction.

​

In my middle grade novel The Magic Gate - Justin Willowman, the main character, gets trapped in a magical amusement park with his sister, Kelsey, and Marvin Griften, who bully's Justin.

A lot of the amusement setting is from my visits to different amusement parks in my travels. I've been to World of Fun, in Kansas City, MO, Six Flags in St. Louis, Disney World in Florida, and Disneyland in California just to name a few. My favorite rides have always be roller coasters.

​

In my second middle grade novel titled The African Curse which is the second in The Magic Gate trilogy, Marvin Griften is the main character who must break the curse that his uncle is under with the help from Justin and Kelsey. They are trapped in magical Africa that was created by Marvin's father when he was a kid. 

I had to do some research in developing the realm of Africa. The pictures are from the Kansas City Zoo at the elephant exhibit. A special thanks goes to my daughter, who was an intern at the time and her boss, who let me tour the elephant barn. 

​

The third novel will be Kelsey's story.

​

For my adult mystery and suspense I have two manuscripts that are complete but still tinker with in the revision process.

Alternate Agenda is a mystery - thriller.

When her cousin is killed in a fuel terminal explosion, Ginny Marta is propelled into a world of danger and lies as she seeks to find the connection to his death with a fuel additive sample that is actually the catalyst to destroy the biofuels market in America.

​

In my suspense Twisted Vows - Tara Whitt is forced to take a hard look at herself when fallout happens in her job, health and marriage. Things escalate when she uncovers the embezzling activity of a coworker, that puts her job in jeopardy. When she is attacked in the hospital by the coworker she thought was a friend, her knight-in-shining-armor is someone other than her husband. With love and support from Brandon Class, her best friend from high school, Tara deals with the strife that her husband causes and the attempt on her life. Ultimately, she realizes she married the wrong guy.

Actively seeking publication for these novels.
