Meet the Author

 

Whether I’m on a job interview or meeting someone new, nothing gets me more tongue-tied than the dreaded “Tell us all a little about yourself.” My brain instantly goes blank and a wave of self-doubt buries me as I frantically attempt to find the words to describe myself.

Why is this so hard? Am I the only one who struggles here? I think not.

I am recently retired from a career in law enforcement and it has influenced my life in unimaginable ways. I have a love/hate relationship with my career choice. I write about it quite often.

My experiences in that field inspired many of my fictional prose. I write fiction in many genres but Crime/Thriller/Mystery is my favorite. I am in the process of writing several non-fiction Law Enforcement related titles that I am looking forward to publishing in the near future.

I am an avid reader, lifelong learner and author. My wordsmithing may need a bit of polishing but I am dedicated to honing my craft.

As is the bain of most writers’ existence, I am an introvert by nature. That being said, I would love to engage with my readers as often as possible. Being able to exchange ideas with people I do not know is intoxicating and I look forward to engaging with all of you!

    Hi. I saw you are an author. I’m a crafter, preschool teacher and being around little ones I’ve written a book and had a friend illustrate it. How could you, if you would, recommend getting it published. Any direction would be greatly received. Looking forward to Facebook interactions

    Hey Ruth, just finished Killing Frank Barnes; was sad when I was finished, it was really good; just wanted it to go on longer, although I have to admit it was SO suspenseful I don’t know if I coulda taken it : ). Proud of you, girl!
