Ladies should never tell their age so let me just say that I am past the age for applying for retirement benefits.  In January 2016, I ventured onto the writon.amazon site and began to post chapter by chapter of The O'Brien.  With each encouraging word from fellow authors and reviewers, my confidence grew and I decided to self publish the first novel in A Ballysea Mystery Series, The O'Brien in March 2016.  This was quickly followed up by The Bodyguard in May 2016.  Next came two sequels to  The O'Brien  to round out 2016 - A Bad Wind Blowing and The O'Brien:The Untold Story.

Following a research trip to Ireland in October, work has begun on The Mystery of White Horse Lake due for release in early 2017.
