She is a retired teacher and freelance writer, currently working as an education director at a local history museum. The author’s previous work includes the book, Road Kill, the first of her novels about Dr. Gerald “Road Kill” O’Connor. She feels driven to write the running narratives that form in her head as she travels the back roads of Kansas in search of historic places, ghost towns, cemeteries, and notable sites along the Santa Fe Trail. Her inspiration comes from sights along the highway, snatches of conversation, cold cases, and news reports of odd events. She shares her home with her opinionated elder felines.view less
