About me
I was certain “ENG” stood for English, not Engineering, when I checked the box for a college major.
Funny story, that.
Somehow, the writing bug survived four years of heat transfer and machine design, followed by a two-decade career as a Mechanical Stress Analyst.
That bug, like the cockroach,
could survive a nuclear war.
A St. Louis native, the days and nights spent at Missouri state parks were fuel to the campfire when setting Jude and Audie West on their mystery-solving adventures. Travels with my husband, Michael, inspired the travelogue program I present to the wonderful residents of local Senior Living communities. And my love of hearing a great tale led to my push for Seniors to document their amazing life stories through Memoir.
My own heritage—Lithuanian, Slovakian, and German—is a source of deep-rooted traditions and soul-satisfying (if not heart-healthy) food. I may or may not have two great-great-grandmothers who may or may not have independently hidden the body of a husband in the dirt floor of a basement.
But it’s okay: they were bad guys.
