: About Me

I am a 61-year-old single female and I live in Fresno, California with my four cats. I am a systems analyst/programmer by profession and a website designer for fun. Some of my happiest moments have been spent writing. I love the written word and think it is the most powerful force on earth. In my spare time I review mystery books on my website, run my online gift store, sell real estate and work on my mystery novel.

My passion is ...

Reading, writing and exchanging ideas

I know too much about ...

Computers, telephone companies, airlines and gamblers

My parents always told me ...

That I was capable of doing anything I set my mind to.

My childhood ambition ...

To be an attorney

My favorite memory ...

Any of the time I spent walking on the beach

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I am listening to the History of Africa & am always reading a mystery.

My first job ...

Bookkeeper for a locksmith

My best moment ...

Right now, setting in my office with the patio door open, the chimes quietly ringing, the wind blowing across the pool and the restless quiet of the neighborhood

My inspiration ...

God and the insane world around me
