About
I am a wife, mother of two, grandmother of six and a retired RN. I live in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and I am enjoying my retirement to fullest. I have always loved to write, so with retirement I decided to start writing. My debut book, "The Tower" was a learning experience for me and it was fun to write. That mystery took you around the world and had lots of twists and turns. My lastest book is a historical fiction that is loosly based on my Great-Grandfather, Charley Dobyns. That book was a labor of love.
I am very eclectic with my reading, I also enjoy old movies and knitting and crocheting. I do far less of those pleasures since I have begun to write.
