Originally, I was inspired to write In the Belly of the Elephant when I came home from Africa in 1982. People would ask me, "How was it?" How do you explain five years of an experience that changed your life in one brief conversation? I had kept detailed journals the entire time I was in Africa. In 1991, after I had married and had my 2 boys, I quit working full time to be with my small children. I started reading my journals again and realized I wanted to share my story with the world.
Now, I'm hooked on writing. Writing keeps me creative and happy. Inspiration for the mystery series I'm writing comes from historical events and the joy I get from structuring a story, developing characters, and weaving it all together.
