Like most of my readers, I love the historical listing of light and fun facts. Did you know that on this date, March 26, 1937, spinach growers in Texas erected a statue of Popeye as a testament to him as a spinach icon? Now even our very young readers know that Popeye...

Kathleen lives with her husband Joe and their dog Othello midst their large family in Springfield, Massachusetts.
"My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age. I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then. Even at an early age, I developed my own plots if only to cover up my misdeeds to the chagrin of my family and teachers. Some less creative called it fibbing!
Now I write from the love of plot – of people and their ways –of life – of philosophy – about crime –about the sociopath/psychopath."
