Wife, mother, grandmother, God’s child, avid
reader, author, native Iowan, joyous person, office manager and, part
owner of a fleet of Edsels, are words that describe who I am and give
voice to experiences that are reflected in my writing style.
I was born in Mason City, Iowa, and at age ten, we moved to a farm outside of Corydon. My junior year of
High school we moved to
Des Moines
where I graduated first from East
High School
and then Grandview
College. I married Dwayne Scott (Scotty) on Valentines Day 1958 and together we
created five great children. Nine years ago we lost our oldest daughter
due to complications of diabetes. We are privileged to claim 8
grandchildren ranging in age 2 to 22, and they and our children all live
within a 30-minute drive.
In 1969 Rheumatoid Arthritis invaded my life, left me
with steel hips, plastic knees, stubby feet, curled fingers and daily
pain. RA taught me to value each new day for the adventure or challenge
that it presents.
Our business, Colonial Builders, was established in
1975, and I have managed the office in our home since its inception.
Before the onset of RA, I even helped with a few construction projects.
Our first Edsel was purchased in 1976 and it became a
hobby enjoyed by the entire family. Our collection of Edsels, big and
little, has grown large enough that we have dreams of creating an Edsel
museum. Scotty and I served as Treasurers of the International Edsel Club
from 1986 to 2004. We look forward to vacationing each July with other
Edsel enthusiasts at an IEC Rally.
My first novel “Righteous Revenge” was published
in September of 2001. “Ruth Fever” became available in May of 2003,
and “Jena’s Choice” was published in July, 2004. Book four is in progress,
tentatively titled "White Nigger", and
number five in the thinking stage. Writing frees my adventurous spirit,
satisfies my imagination, and blocks my pain. I am a member of Mystery
Writers of America, and you can read my profile in the 2004 and 2005
edition of Marquis’ Who’s Who in America.
