  WHO I AM  I am an author, educator and part-time librarian from the small, rural town of Osceola, Nebraska. I earned my BA in English with minors in creative writing and theater arts from Concordia University--Seward, Nebraska. From there I moved several places, held several jobs, and had several daughters. Now my girls and I live in my hometown again, where I moonlight as the assistant librarian. I am also featured on  Nebraska Authors . WHAT I WRITE My writing tends literary, with a strong focus on characters and dialogue. I like writing in historical settings, especially the early 20th century. In general, I like writing flawed love stories and complicated families; specifically, I like writing about life in a small town, crime capers and mysteries, fast-talkers, and strong-willed women.

Let's Not Talk About Litzsinger

"The con has never taken him this far before." The Story Life since the Great War ended hasn't been kind to Rolf Litzsinger. Armed with only a clerical shirt and a dubious sob story, he roams the French countryside, slipping into churches---and slipping out with the offering plate.

No matter; Rolf is sure he can wiggle his way free without drawing suspicion---espeically since everyone in the village seems to think he was sent by God himself--- Everyone, except Simone DuBois. A daring painter and self-proclaimed bohemian, Simone may not be as devout as her family, but she can spot a fake. She knows Rolf is no holy man---but Rolf knows a damning secret about her as well. After witnessing a clandestine kiss, Rolf leverages a deal: if Simone helps him steal a thousand franc...

Inheritance

"And the longer Lars stared into his face, the more he wondered if maybe...maybe...the answers to this strange scene were trapped inside him, gnarl-frozen like ice swelling the cracks in a rock." The Story Lars Gustafson has one job to do. The mortician hired him for his size---not his brain, and certainly not his English---and Lars carries the bodies. Big and small; young and old; drowned, pneumatic---and murdered.  When wealthy farmer Harold Eklund is found shot---and frozen---on his dining table, the small, windswept town of Osceola, Nebraska is consumed by the mystery--and Lars more than anyone. Harold and his family fascinate Lars, and, despite his usual reticence, he seeks ways to get closer to them--- Especially Harold's daughters, Mildred and Rachel. Pulled further and further into the Eklund family's secrets, Lars begins to unwind the mystery of Harold's murder---and the strange part Lars himself played in the man's demise. Fifteen years of pain and l...
