LIVE AUTHOR CHAT – June 30 @ 7 PM EST!
I’ll be joining Joey Calvo on YouTube to talk about life, books, and big second acts.

After 40 years in Durango, raising a family and building a beautiful life, I took a leap: I moved to Florida and launched my second act as a cozy mystery author.

We’ll chat about:
How my real-life adventures inspired my fictional town
The leap from reader to author
Murder, romance, and happy endings
Finding purpose again after 40
… and how writing helped me rediscover connection, creativity, and community.
Join us live June 30 at 7 PM EST on YouTube!
