Planning to retire from bedside nursing, she acquired a master’s in nursing at the University of South Carolina and taught nursing courses at a technical college in nearby Newberry. After more than a decade of teaching, she retired and set the writing of her first novel as her next goal. Prior to writing and publishing The Good Spy Wife the author penned children stories, numerous poems, as well as researched and wrote about the nursing concept: The Theory of Touch as related to bedside nursing.
The Good Spy Wife results from five years of gaining knowledge in the art of writing through conferences, writers’ groups, and research into the world of the Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and his antithesis, the Soviet spy. She learned much about the world of espionage firsthand from observing her husband, as well as from living as a spy wife in the suburbs of New Orleans; Washington, DC; and Columbia, South Carolina throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Her newly released book is also the result of a lifetime of learning, seeking for knowledge of God through his word, and using parallels from her own life when telling an amusing fictional story that she hopes will be interesting and inspirational to others.voir moins
