Q. What do you like best about writing?
A. The ability to create people, situations and solutions any way I desire.
Q. When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
A. Several years ago, the Miami Herald's Tropic Magazine published my prizewinning entry, written on a whim, of a proposed 13th chapter to Naked Came the Manatee, a serial novel penned by Dave Barry, Elmore Leonard, Edna Buchanan, Carl Hiassen, and other south Florida writers. I was hooked.

Key West lawyer Tabitha "Tab" DeWitt is innocently caught up in a search for $10 million and emeralds from a sunken Spanish galleon. The loot was hidden and nearly forgotten after a disastrous old CIA financed sting. Murder, prison, and a change of political winds put the quest for the missing treasure temporarily on hold, but 15 years later the search resumes with a vengeance, tied now to a crooked development scheme. When Tab stumbles on the money, her life spins out of control. Aided by a heroic elderly woman, Tab falls victim to a corrupt judge, greedy builders, and assorted crooks. Abduction, a terrifying sailboat passage, murder, and a threatened hurricane, lead everyone to a twisted and ironic conclusion.
