Laughter is healing to our soul. My family and I have experienced a number of tragedies and frightening experience. Any one of which could have been my undoing. If I could find one little spark of humor in that tangle of fears I could make life better. Humor is what keeps me going. I guess I am a southern humorist who enjoys a bit of the dark-side, evidence in my mysteries. I began teaching in Gwinnett County, GA. There I met my husband, Snell. After turning I down three times, we married 364 days after our first date. We have one child, James, who was deprived of oxygen during birth. He has some development issues. He is not special needs, but a special gift. I have won numerous awards for my books and for my speaking engagements.
