Mystery Makers and Solvers

About the Book

This book is about the adventures and life of Christine Travis. She finds herself right in the middle of three disturbing mysteries at different times of her young life. Come along with her as she uses her cunning mind and intellect as well as her sense of goodness to bring evil to justice. From the Author Almost every young girl of my generation was a fan of the Nancy Drew books. I was no exception. As a twelve-year-old, I decided to create a club called Mystery Makers and Solvers. Once a week, my friends and I would get together, and we would give book reports of the most recent novels read about Nancy Drew’s mysteries. We would then exchange books or go to the public library for more in the series. This action spurred my interest in reading mysteries as an adult. A number of years ago, I decided to write a novel myself as I felt I had an adventure inside me. As it happens, I had three of them and a heroine that I named Christine Travis. She is my Nancy Drew. I hope that you will enjoy her life and adventures as much I did in creating them.

About the Author

I was born and raised in a small Canadian town of Galt, Ontario which has now been named Cambridge. Moving to Kitchener, Ontario when I married my husband Graham, I attended Doon School of Fine Arts and completed post-secondary courses at Conestoga College in the Arts. I then instructed children and adults in painting and drawing for the City of Kitchener for fifteen years. I was also the first female Zoning Inspector for the City and hence my career in law enforcement. I left this occupation to become a mother to our wonderful daughter, Cinnamon. Shortly thereafter, we decided to open a family seafood restaurant which we operated for twenty years during which time I decided to write this novel. It gave me peace and adventure. I have since had a grandson, Joe; retired and continue to write, paint and travel.
