ABOUT ME!

I've always been a horse nut, and as a young person, I was a rabid horse-racing fan. So it's no surprise that my novels so far are about horses: the Kentucky Derby and the glamour of a Thoroughbred breeding farm—but with a little of my favorite ingredients—mystery and mayhem—thrown in! For King of the Roses and Blood Lies, I drew on my years of moonlighting on the racetrack, and for a while, owning and galloping my own racehorse. For Three Strides Out, I’ve incorporated knowledge from a lifetime of riding and showing hunters. Since then I've used my doctorate in English to teach writing at a regional campus of a Midwestern university—right across the river from Louisville and the Derby, in fact! Today I live in southern Indiana with my evil cat Peep, write, watch a yardful of birds, and ride Paddy, my sweet, sweet horse.
