As the managing editor of a regional magazine, I meet the most interesting and at times, eccentric people. I love writing about Lake Travis, but the newspaper that publishes the magazine frowns on fiction, my first love. So, Cauley MacKinnon, my super alter ego was born.Cauley is the obituary writer in SCOOP (Midnight Ink, Sept. 2006) and DEAD COPY (May 2007).Since then, I have "retired" from my editorial duties at the 'zine, and my honey and I have moved north of Austin in search of bigger fish to fry.I'm currently working on MORGUE FILE, where Cauley's ex husband is back, in trouble, and looking to Cauley for help.Check my website (which I'm working on--if you have suggestions let me know) for updates on Cauley, Marlowe and a contest!I'd love to hear what you think about SCOOP, and answer any questions you might have.
