General Information

My novels are represented by Eleanor Wood, from the Spectrum Literary Agency.

Most of my work can be found in the usual places – online and physical bookstores.  A Book for All Seasons has signed copies of much of my fiction and can be contacted online or visited in the charming town of Leavenworth, Washington.

I encourage people living in my area to drop by my favorite local bookstores.  These include ParkPlace Books in Kirkland, which the town I live in, the University Bookstore in Seattle in the University District, and Powells, especially Powell’s Beaverton where I often do readings.
