My favorite performance by our fabulous high school music department is Les Mis, and one of my favorite songs is Jean Valjean singing “Who am I.”
I’ve never been able to leave a brain teaser or puzzle go unchallenged. As former math teacher, I tie numbers and logic to my Katie and Maverick Cozy Mysteries. My best ideas come when least expected—when I’m making incredible memories with family and friends, walking my dog whose only speed is faster, carefully deleting reference to murder from my web-browser, and pretending to cook. You can find me nibbling chocolate and sipping wine, both of which sometimes occur WHILE writing and reading. In rural Minnesota smiles are real, the skies are blue, the weather can turn on a dime, and I can write about it all and not make up a word. Often, characters I run into end up in my stories—perhaps a name, a face, an occupation, or words I’ve overheard. Be wary and be nice. You never know if you’ll end up in my mystery.
Sir William Wallace is one of my husband’s heroes and I discovered if I purchased a souvenir plot of land contributing to the preservation of woodlands in Scotland, landowners may choose to be referred to as “Lairds”, the Scottish term for “Lord.” That makes me Lady Mary!
Who am I?
