The Blind Justice Society

I am a seventy-three year old retired high school teacher. My husband, William pasted away in 2016 after thirty years together. I have three children and two grandchildren. I live in a little town in Connecticut. Most of my stories happen there. Before becoming a teacher at fifty, I was a technical writer for the government working on Trident submarines. I have always been interested in mysteries and when I was little I wanted to be a policewoman. I watched all of the series Policewoman, with Angie Dickerson. I looked Murder She Wrote. My son Jonathan calls me murder she hopes. As I walked around my neighborhood and I see something unusual I create a story in my head. Then I play with it until I have a story formed. My characters come to me when I am swimming or driving. I swim at the military base by my home. My husband was a retired Air Force medic and my dad was retired Navy. I have lived most of my life in this town and meet once a month for lunch with my classmates of fifty-five years. I started to write when my husband was diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer. He was sick for four years. I was his sole caregiver during that time. I would create a story and then I would read it to him while he was having chemo. He would tell me what needed to be changed and what didn't work. I miss that so much. My husband lost his battle with cancer the day after our thirty year wedding anniversary. He promised me he would make it and he never broke a promise. Dying in my arms and tell me not to cry he loved me. I promised him I would continue to write and publish my book. I never broke a promise to him. This book is dedicated to him.
