While I mostly write mystery series, such as the Claire Gulliver Series, and the one I'm working on now, the Glenda at Large Series, once in a while a book just feels like it has to burst out of me. Mud to Ashes, the story of Karo Meisner, a woman trying to cope with her mid-life crisis is one of those books. I had wanted to write a book set in a pottery studio since the first day I visited a studio myself. I wasn't long after that visit when I realized what a good place it was for a murder. This book is a culmination of all those thoughts and experiences in the pottery studios I've worked in. I had fun writing it. I hope my readers enjoy reading it.

Those who know me, know I am a storyteller from way back, although it is only during the latter part of my life that I started writing my stories. Gayle's Tales contains nine of my stories, written, and published on Kindle for your enjoyment. These are mostly light, romantic tales suitable for most ages. Check them out.
