She is a founder of the Island Writers Network and served as national treasurer for Sisters in Crime. She has two stepsons, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Her twelve Bay Tanner mysteries, including St. John’s Folly from Bella Rosa Books, are set on Hilton Head Island and in the surrounding South Carolina Lowcountry.
