Southern born and raised where good manners and reputation are everything. Career in law enforcement with outside interests include hiking, playing golf and writing (I've published three books with number four in the works). When I'm not writing, I'm reading. A good rainy day is spent in a bookstore, coffee in hand, perusing the shelves for that perfect book. Around the house you'll find me writing or in the kitchen, trying out a receipe I've come across with french cooking a favorite. I enjoy writing letters, a lost art these days as emails, though faster, are a bit cold and impersonal.
