I married in 1968 and moved to Michigan in fall 1970 where my husband works is Vice President for New Businesses (whatever that means other than he is away on business about half the time) for a major company. We have two children Joel, age 26, who is presently an assistant English teacher for Junior High school students in Handa, Aiichi-ken, Japan, and Jessica, age 18, who is a freshman at the University of Chicago. We have lived in Michigan since 1970 except for one year (1978) in Tulsa OK, and four and a half years in Tokyo, Japan (1981-1985). I presently work as an assistant in an elementary school library, and volunteer in the library at a local nature center. I've been reading mystery books forever, or at least all my adult life. Favorite authors include John Rhode (an English writer from the 1940-1960 period), Margaret Yorke, Dick Francis , Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, Val McDermid, Peter Lovesey (but not his historical stuff) , Michael Connelly, Edna Buchanan, Susan Conant, J.A.
