At 85 I call myself the Grandma Moses of mystery. Grandma Moses was a primitive artist who became famous at the age of 80 and painted until she was 101. (I don't know how many grandchildren she had, but I have eight.) Since my mother lived to the age of 103, I hope to do as well with my writing. It's no accident my mysteries take place close to Chesapeake Bay. My husband and I sailed there and beyond for many years. I've recreated Annapolis, Maryland, as Queensboro in the Jo Durbin series. And, the Cyd Denlinger series finds my amateur sleuth mixed up with boats that I found while sailing. My non-fiction has a personal connection as well. When my father was 88 (not too much older than I am now), he dictated his story on six audio tapes. I tell you, it took a year to untangle that, and we had some disagreements with me and a map and him with his memories, but the eventual result was one friends and families loved then. A wider audience loves those adventures now. My newest book is CHERISH, a YA ghost mystery. This is one for my grandchildren (and others) to enjoy. It's one for grandmothers to share with granddaughters. Both will learn what it's like to be a teenager in the other's time. (Will I be telling too much if I say there's a teen ghost from 1946 and a current teen involved?)
