Published author. Crime fiction writer (mysteries and suspense).

It has taken more effort to keep groceries and other household items stocked. For a while there, I was ordering groceries from two of Houston’s major supermarket chains. One of them had a week-long turnaround. That takes more planning on the consumer’s part. (Their turnaround times are finally back to same or next day.)

Houston–and Texas–are coming back to life, though. So…back to my trilogy! No excuses! ( I miss the hero, anyway.)
