She was 11, like me. Four decades later, I studied with Julie Lawson, who encouraged me to write a novel. I started but never finished it.In 2005 I moved to Mayne. I published Magda’s Mayne Island Mystery in 2007. Mayne Island Aliens followed two years later. Mayne Island Skeletons came out in 2011. In 2014 Magda's Mysterious Stranger was completed and published. I'm currently working on a fifth in the Magda of Mayne series. Its working title is Mayne Island Ghost.Self-publishing means you can read my books now. I’ll go on managing my own books about Magda and her pal Brent who ruin nefarious schemes and solve impenetrable mysteries on Mayne Island.
