Christmas Magic 1959
Have you ever wondered what a writer’s early years were like and how it affected their future writing and the stories they would tell later in their lives? Have you ever wondered what their childhood Christmases, their early holidays, were like? Well, wonder no longer. This biographical memoir is about one of my most cherished childhood Christmases…in 1959 when I was nine years old. After my beloved musician/singer/songwriter brother Jim passed away in 2015 from cancer I felt an intense need to write this memoir about that special Christmas Eve I shared with him, my other siblings, mother, father and grandparents, and put it out there for everyone to read as a tribute to him and my family. This is my memory, part of my childhood, a childhood that strongly shaped me as an individual, and some of my fondest recollections. Note: in the late 1970’s I did a series of illustrated (by me, because I’m an artist, too) short stories for my local newspaper and I’ve used one of my old article drawings from that newspaper from 1977 for the first page of this memoir. (Note: THIS IS NOT A SHORT STORY...but a memoir.)

I've been writing for over 51 years have published thirty-five novels and thirteen short stories....most of them are now also in Audible audio books (Audible, iTunes and Amazon.com). Take a look/listen at Audible.com.
I write traditional supernatural horror, SF horror, ghost stories, romantic time-travel, cozy murder mysteries, paranormal romance and dinosaur tales. I've been writing about murders and mysteries, dinosaurs, end-of-the-world tales, possessed guns, ghosts, ancient Egyptian spirits, witches, haunted places and evil vampires since I was 21. These days I consider myself less of a horror writer and just a plain old storyteller.
My best-selling series are my SPOOKIE TOWN MURDER MYSTERIES (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away, Ghosts Beneath Us, Witches Among Us, What Lies Beneath the Graves, All Those Who Came Before, When the Fireflies Returned, and Echoes of Other Times) and my seven DINOSAUR LAKE novels.
I was a wife of over 43 years to my late beloved husband, Russell, mother (one son, James), grandmother (two grandchildren, Caitlyn and Joshua) and a great grandmother. I was also a graphic designer in the corporate world for 23 years; but always wrote my books on the side. I love cats and nature, classic rock and country music.
