After Bennington College, I worked at McCall's Magazine and then went to Ogilvy&Mather, New York during the "Mad Men " era. David Ogilvy and his colleagues treated me wonderfully, promoted me several times and then sent me west to become head of their agency in Los Angeles. I managed an agency of 200 great people. I was invited to be on the 1984 Olympic Committee and the boards of a law school and a major charity. I had a terrific and unusually successful time in advertising. A move to Reno brought me to the attention of the University of Nevada where I was invited to join the faculty as a full professor in Journalism. I taught marketing communications and media ethics until 2009. I learned about campus politics and tensions when I served as Chair of the Faculty Senate. That experience sent me back to my first love:writing fiction. So, after 26 years of college teaching, I retired to write academic mysteries about campus violence. Published in 2014 by Henery Press, "The Red Queen's Run," is the first in a trilogy. The story opens with the brutal death of the dean of journalism. Dr. Meredith "Red" Solaris is appointed as interim dean and must navigate a vicious faculty quarrel in search of the murderer before she becomes the next target. The second novel in the Red Solaris trilogy came out December 2015 and the third was published in 2016 I share my home in northern Nevada with a kind and generous husband. Between us we have four children, and seven grandchildren.
