About

I have turned my focus to fiction and freelance articles after five years as an art director in Kansas City and 33 years as a community newspaper publisher at the birthplace of Will Rogers in Oologah, Oklahoma. I was inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame in 2012.
Our team continues to produce our weekly syndicated family news feature, "For the Kid in You "
A trip to Greece inspired my first novel (The Revelation Key) published in December, 2017.
Every day seems like a miracle after I defeated stage 4 lymphoma.

Featured Work

The Revelation Key

2017

A quirky art history student joins a team of scholars in Greece as they dig into a Byzantine maze of dusty manuscripts, fading art and End Times prophecies.
A message from beyond the grave pulls Amber into a web of conspiracy and murder. Who can she trust—the Biblical scholar, hot graduate assistant, prim professor, corrupt officials or the solemn monks?
Will she find the key before she is silenced?
