Before becoming addicted to writing, I worked on Broadway and on the road as an actress, singer and stage manager. *Small Time*, my second play, won **Theatre Guinevere's "Guinny Award"** and was later part of the **Maxwell Anderson Playwright's Series.** An enthusiastic traveler, I have written for the Travel Section of *The Washington Post* and magazines such as *Rock & Gem* and *The Gold Prospector* (inspired by old mining camps to Australia and New Zealand.) In memory of my toy poodle, Jackie, I wrote about a Musical Comedy troupe touring the United States with pet dogs, published in the Anthology *Good Dogs Doing Good,* and a short story that won second prize in the *American Kennel Club Magazine* contest. Articles dealing with American history have appeared in magazines such as *American Spirit*, *Pennsylvania*, *The Elks* and *The Villager*. An avid fan of mysteries, my short stories have appeared in *Mystery Time*, *RTP* and *The Deadly Ink Anthology.* I am married to Bob Bernard, a dazzling tap dancer; we live in and love New York City. *Scene Stealer*, a mystery, is my first eBook - published by **Carina Press**- and my first audio book - published by audible.com .
