 3 Fun Facts

1. I am frequently confused with my identical twin sister who also happens to work in publishing.
2. Am amazed that almost 7 million people have viewed Wanda Sykes’ reading of THE CASE OF THE MISSING CARROT CAKE.
3. I’m a total foodie (as are my two spoiled Spaniels). So, it’s no surprise that food seems to seep into much of my writing.
