I retired as Associate Professor of Education from SUNY College at Oneonta NY. to live with husband, Tom in Florida. I've been a fiction writer for the past six years. Published in 2006 by Five Star/Gale, my first book was a historical novel, Four Summers Waiting. It was given a second edition in LP by Thorndike Press. Next came a contemporary series, The Maine Shore Chronicles. The Chronicles are a cross between Romantic Suspense and Sweet Cozy Mystery.Books one, two,and three Finding Fiona,Moonglade, and Promise Keeper all received second editions in Large Print by Thorndike Press. My readers enjoy the cross genre mix of my contemporary series and I hope they will continue to enjoy Four Summers Waiting as an Ebook.
