More About Me

I’m a retired American living in the Philippines with my Filipino husband. I first started writing seriously during the COVID lock down while we were living in Las Vegas. My background includes 8 years in the US Air Force and Texas Air National Guard working on B-52 bombers and managing an aircraft Quality Control inspection team. When my enlistment ended, I built F-16 fighters and helped create repair manuals for them. I taught 7th and 8th grade science and math for 7 years. Later I became a registered nurse and worked in psych, med/surg, pediatrics, and nursing case management. 5 years before I retired, I worked for a software company traveling to hospitals all over the U.S. to train nursing case managers on the use and manipulation of the company’s Case Management, Risk Management, and Infection Control documentation program. I have traveled to many countries, and I enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, playing tennis, and riding motorcycles. You will find that many of my personal experiences are evident in my books.
