I grew up rding horses on a Middle Park cattle ranch in Colorado. In 1957 Don Off and I married. We are still married 62 years later. We have three adult children, six grand-children and four great-grand-children, all of which live in Colorado. I wrote three published books, all of them fiction mysteries. I have a BS degree from CSU, a Bible College degree from Faith Bible Institute and completed a writing course from Institute of Children's Literature.
