Writer, reader, hiker, kite flyer, rambler. I love history, art, animals, historic hotels, and France. I write mysteries. I now live in the high desert, but the waters of Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River keep me hydrated.

I just took this photo of Miss O'Keeffe's mountain, Pedernal, from my kitchen. It's about 60-70 miles away.

So having been a New Orleanian for four decades, when the clerk at the post office offered me "Carnival Nights" stamps, I assumed they were images of Mardi Gras! Nope. Different kind of carnival.

I always have a non-fiction and a fiction going, as well as an audio book for in the car and doing housework. I just finished Trust by Hernan Diaz, which I read over the weekend. What a fabulous novel.
