Brief Author Bio:

Strange things tend to happen to me in November while trying to write a novel. Strange things that lead to the Emergency Room, with injuries that are in no way related to Nanowrimo.

2003: Sleight of Hand (8,000 words)
2004: Sleight of Hand (again, rewriten from scratch - not that it helped, I landed in the ER with a shoulder injury and couldn't finish - 15,000 words)
2005: Beyond the Shore (50,000!!! Yay!)
2007: The Vigilante (a trip to the ER with neurological issues, spent the rest of the month in either states of extreme pain from lumbar puncture headache or confused stupor - 17,000)
2008: Dead By Midnight (50,000!!! Yay!)

Synopsis: Unwritten

"In sickness and in health" turned out to be the only vow her husband was not able to keep. Diagnosed with an uncommon mental disorder, Noelle finds her marriage ruined, her job on the line, and nothing left of her life. Now her future is a blank slate. After living a very sheltered life, she finds hope in the new beginning.
