I write coastal cozies with a splash of humor. I grew up in a small Ohio town and attended a small-town Ohio college. Upon earning my accountancy degree, I became a CIA (that’s not a sexy spy thing, but a Certified Internal Auditor). I married a naval officer, and off we sailed to see the world. After nineteen moves, we, along with our two rescue dogs Tiller and Scout, settled in a cottage by the Chesapeake Bay. I writes what I know: small towns with beach settings. The dead bodies are purely a fiction of my imagination.
