Today, as a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, the International Association of Crime Writers, and Emerald Coast Writers, I can proudly report my growing list of original, comedic murder mystery scripts have been performed by fundraising and theater groups all over the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and England.

I moved to Northwest Florida in 2002 to live near my parents and sister, and in the process, decided to start my own production company. My first show, PEACE, LOVE... AND MURDER! was performed in the spring of 2003, and was a fundraising event for Horizons of Okaloosa County. Horizons, located in Ft. Walton Beach, is dedicated to providing services for developmentally disabled adults and children in our community. My sister is the CEO of Horizons, and thanks to her involvement, I became involved too. Today, Act4Murder performs regularly to raise money for several non-profit organizations, including Horizons.

With the help of my family and friends, I have found a great deal of success producing my comedic murder mysteries in the area. There is an enormous amount of talent here, and many great productions going on all the time. And I've discovered, whether it's California or Florida, people love to be entertained, so the response to this alternate means of "adult entertainment" has been overwhelming.

Thanks again to everyone for your continued support (and attendance!) of Act4Murder productions. I love writing these fun, sometimes whacky, and always mysterious shows, and especially enjoy the productions and the opportunity to meet so many new and interesting people.

Hope to stump you... I mean, SEE you, soon!
