I live in gorgeous Middle Tennessee, although lately I've been thinking about sandy beaches, palm trees and island time. My hobbies are Old Cars, spoiling my puppies, and writing.

   I started reading and writing after retiring from many years in the workplace. It gave me something to do and let me exercise my mind. And I noticed that whatever I wrote, no matter how serious I intended for it to be, my mind always tried to insert "what-if" situations, generally twisted or distorted variations of my basic plotline, and mostly outlandish or humorous. And so, as I wrote my first book, I eventually veered off my intended course and finally managed to stay off course. I don't know if I'll ever be able to pen anything serious, but I'm keeping my options open.

   I am currently writing Fan Fiction in Jana Deleon's: Miss Fortune Mystery series. Ms. Deleon's first book in this series is "Louisiana Longshot",  a Humorous Mystery set in the small town of Sinful, Louisiana. The main character is a young lady whose life's profession is CIA Assassin, but due to circumstance has temporarily relocated to Sinful. She quickly makes friends with two silver-haired old ladies, and the fun begins when body parts show up in her back yard. Once you've read Louisiana Longshot, you'll definitely want to read the rest of her series. Then hopefully, while waiting for her next book, you'll try some of the Miss Fortune fan-written books. They're almost as much a hoot as the original series.

My pen name for writing Miss Fortune World fan fiction is:  AUNT TILLIE
