What were you before you became an author?
I have worn many hats. I lived north of the 56 parallel, and I worked for a mining company in the computer department. In those days, no one had a desktop or laptop computer; we did it all. Our processor was as big as a fridge. Early days. I’ve also worked in the banking industry. And other jobs from cashier at a pharmacy, to a salesclerk in a home decorating store.
Did this influence your choices as a writer?
All aspects of life and work have influenced me. People I’ve meant and jobs I have done. And travel is a wonderful education. My trip inspired me to write my latest mystery novel Death and Denial
- Are you genre specific or general? I don’t mean major genres but subdivisions or romance, mystery or paranormal
My genre is mystery of the cozy kind, no blood guts or gore. But a puzzle to solve and humour along the way. I did try to write a romance novel way back in my 20’s, but I wasn’t romantic enough. Murder mysteries fit me better.
- What is your latest release?
Death and Denial. An adventure in Egypt. Not all dead bodies in linen are mummies.
- What are you working on now?
My next novel is in the revision stage. The ladies, Mabel and Violet, are back home. Seniors in a condo are meeting an untimely death. Mabel’s mother may be next. My mystery is called The Trouble with Funerals
- Does your reading choices influence your choice of a writing career?
It probably does, I read a lot of mysteries, but I do read other genres as well.
