I love summer, partly because it reminds me of happy times as a kid when vacation meant sleeping late, riding my bike all over the neighborhood, playing softball at the vacant lot around the corner, and going on a trip with my parents. [Read more…] about Summertime in South Padre

When he arrived at exactly six o’clock, Carmella strolled onto the terrace, putting his uneasiness to rest with a big hug, followed by a kiss on both cheeks.
“It is so wonderful to have you in our home.”

“How debonair you look, Patrico.” [Read more…] about Keeping Faith Chapter 9 Part IV
Heading to Dallas… Although that area was home for 25 years, I don’t get that way very often, so I am excited and looking forward to it. I’m having lunch with a group of educational colleagues that I haven’t seen in quite some time, so I’m sure we’ll have stories to tell. If you are a former student and your ears burn this week, that’s why! [Read more…] about Reminiscing in Dallas
Do you have questions for me about my writing, my books, my thoughts on life? Send them through the Contact form and I’ll answer them here.
I grew up in Kilgore, Texas, in the East Texas Piney Woods, went to Baylor University in Waco, TX before I ended up in Dallas for 25 years. I now live at South Padre Island, Texas, at the southern most tip of the state.
I don’t ever remember not writing. In high school I wrote poetry, but even before that when I was just a little girl I wanted to be a journalist, so I wrote little stories on leftover typing paper at my house. In college I wrote feature stories for a local newspaper and for the college newspaper.
I taught English and journalism and then became director of communications for the school district. In that job, I wrote stories every day. I had numerous articles published in professional journals, but I always wanted to write a novel. When I retired, I began my first novel, which turned out to be Keeping Faith.
