Brief Author Bio:

After 30 years of teaching, 21 of it for the military schools overseas, 7 of that on the infamous East/West communist Border during the Cold War, I was happy to retire in peaceful Colorado Springs and finally have time to write all the stories flipping around in my head. I consider this retirement life as much fun as teaching the greatest kids in the world. I was raised in L.A. moved to Germany in 1974 after the death of my first husband, and met and married Eric, a retired Army pilot who was raised in Germany. Together we like to ski and travel. They tell me being married to a German builds character. This is my second time to try NaNoWriMo and that must make me truly insane... But almost all of my fifth novel, "Mama Told Me Not to Come" was rough, rough drafted in last year's NaNoWriMo, so it made it easy to spend a couple of more months editing once I had it all roughed in. A worthwhile endeavor.
