About This Author

I am a surety agent (bail bond agent) in SE Idaho. In my 'former' lives, I 've been a college instructor, a deputy sheriff and a journalist/photographer for several newspapers. I still pursue writing and photography as well as quilting and snowshoeing. I'm obsessive about my quilting and have won several ribbons at local Fairs and Quilt Shows. I find it releases me creatively for my writing and is un-doing some of the cynicism I've acquired with my jobs. My companion is a little Scottie, Bonnie Prince Baron Macklin who is called Mack informally.
