Why do you write the genre that you write?
I love solving puzzles. I grew up reading Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie. It was such fun trying to solve “who done it.”

Tell us how you got into writing?
I starting writing at a very early age. I wrote my first short story in the second grade – Bobby Bobo Got Baptized at the Big Bone Baptist Church. He was a local country-western singer and was really baptized at my church. I got an A+ on the story, and the teacher called my mother to encourage my reading and writing skills. My mother took me on the bus to the main library in Cincinnati every month, and we would carry shopping bags of books home. As for the Bobby Bobo story, I rewrote it as an adult and added layers to it. It still sings.

What’s next for you?
I just finished my thirtieth book and I’m developing a new mystery series. Writing is what I love to do. I get itchy if I’m not writing. I gotta scratch it.

What are you reading now?
I adore vintage movies, especially noir movies. Someone gave me a book on the silent screen idol, Douglas Fairbanks, and I am devouring it.

Where can we find you?
You can find my books at your local bookstore or websites such as Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and Google Play.
