Bio
I started out my career as an Anesthesiologist with an MD from UTMB-Galveston, later getting a second doctorate degree, this time in Parapsychology. I have published several nonfiction books, chapters, and articles, but the academic double-talk required eventually drove me to fiction writing in sheer self-defense. Since then, I’ve experimented with multiple styles and genres, including screenplay and novel comedies, romances, fantasy, and supernatural thrillers. However, I always returned to fantasy novels that use paranormal elements, which is where my true passion lies.
When I’m not working on my current series set in and around the Navajo reservation (think Jim Butcher meets Tony Hillerman), I’m a part-time ghost hunter and full-time caretaker for a cat named Bob.

I’ve been fascinated by the Navajo culture since I was a little girl and spent two years living and working in the heart of the reservation, Chine, AZ. Most fiction fails to capture the essence of the Navajo people, especially their delightful sense of humor. My current series (starting with Navajo Star and followed by Navajo Night) uses a Navajo first-person narrator in the hope of giving readers a better peek into this remarkable people.

Title: Suicide: What Really Happens in the Afterlife?
♦ Co-author: Jon Klimo
Publisher: North Atlantic Books/2006
Genre: Parapsychology Nonfiction
This provocative study explores what happens to those who commit suicide. Drawing on communications from the spirits of ‘successful’ suicides, it offers an intriguing look at what the dead themselves say about suicide, its repercussions, and their experiences in the afterlife. Bringing together the channeled messages of three types of suicide—traditional suicide, assisted suicide, and the suicide mass murder adopted by terrorists—the book covers a wide range of topics, including why people commit suicide, what it is like to cross over, adjustment problems, what suicides would say to those left behind, and what they would tell others thinking of taking their own lives. Additionally, the book conveys powerful messages from suicide bombers, warning potential terrorists of the serious karmic consequences that await them. For anyone contemplating suicide or euthanasia, the book offers profound, sometimes unsettling, insight into the ramifications of these acts.

Title: Handbook to the Afterlife
♦ Co-author: Jon Klimo
Publisher: North Atlantic Books/2010
Genre: Parapsychology Nonfiction
Just as life itself has different stages of growth and development, so does the afterlife. In this useful handbook, the authors demonstrate how dying and rebirth are, much like life, continuous processes.
Beginning with the moment of death itself, progressing through different transitional stages, and ending with the return of spirits to the physical plane, they define the purposes and pitfalls of each stage. They look at the kinds of adjustment problems that occur in each phase, and how spirits can be helped to move forward. Questions of pain and emotional state at the time of death, karma, and reincarnation are sensitively addressed. The book includes practical techniques for opening communication with those who have passed on to the other side. While of interest to anyone seeking a general overview of the subject, Handbook to the Afterlife is particularly useful for those dealing with ghosts.

Title: Mind-Matter Interaction: A Review of Historical Reports, Theory and Research
Publisher: McFarland/2011
Genre: Parapsychology Nonfiction
The power of the mind to influence the physical world has long been debated. This study of mind-matter interaction (MMI) explores a wide range of phenomena, including levitation, stigmata, inedia, paranormal activity, bilocation, fire immunity, luminosity, the teleportation of matter, and more.
The book is divided into three sections. Part I recounts stories of miraculous events from around the world since ancient times. Part II covers the findings of over a 125 years of experimental research, including everything from spontaneous case collections, to archival data, field investigations, and double-blind controlled studies. It also considers what science has taught us about these phenomena, and discusses the training techniques, models, and theories that have emerged from this information. Part III is what the experience of performing MMI is like for those who do it and what facilitates or inhibits it.
