Thanks for stopping by. If you like a little mystery in your life, you’ve come to the right place. I write mostly mysteries. My Jennie Connors/Riverview Manor series has been around for a while and Love and Not Destroy is a standalone whose characters are begging to have their story continued. Will they get their way? I think so ... as soon as I finish Jennie's next adventure. If you're not in the mood for a mystery and are looking for a quick read, check out the Short Stories page.

The Jennie Connors/Riverview Manor stories take place in a retirement community perched on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River - Old Man River himself.
Jennifer Connors is Activities Director of this surprisingly quirky place. I think you’ll enjoy spending time with Jennie, her two sons and the citizens of Riverview. They are a diverse and lively crew, full of surprises - and trouble. You can find out more about their adventures by clicking on the Jennie Connors tab.

Love and Not Destroy is set in a picture-perfect small town just north of Philadelphia. Here's a picture of the shed where Peace Morrow's story begins.
Much of the action in Love and Not Destroy takes place in a museum of antique tools and folk art. The story examines the ways in which destiny is shaped by family secrets. Peace is a young woman searching for her identity - and a history she may be better off not knowing. Click on Peace Morrow to learn about her story.

For something a little different click on Short Stories. Here you will find links to stories that explore the ebb and flow of relationships in families that may be like yours - and, if you would like a glimpse into a writer's life, there is Birth of a Novel, a collection of short essays that follow the journey of four women writers.
