Other Comments:

My historical novels are set in the southern part of Michigan where I grew up because that is the history I know and love and want to preserve for my children and grandchildren. On the other hand, my contemporary novels of suspense and mystery are set in my adopted state of North Carolina. Their settings stretch from the mountains to the piedmont to the sea shore.
