Now my focus is on murder.Besides writing, my interests are reading, eating chocolate and riding my Harley.Contact information is available on my website. Most of the Silhouettes are available as e-books. For those novels, I won several awards including National Readers' Choice, Romantic Times Best Silhouette Romance and two Rita finalist slots. There will be more!Before my third divorce, I sold fifteen romance novels ranging from comedy to dark suspense under the names Sally Carleen, Sally Steward and Sara Garrett. There will be more!Charley’s Ghost includes: The Ex Who Wouldn't Die, The Ex Who Glowed in the Dark, The Ex Who Conned a Psychic, and The Ex Who Saw a Ghost. The others are Murder, Lies and Chocolate The Great Chocolate Scam Chocolate Mousse Attack Fatal Chocolate Obsession Deadly Chocolate Addiction and Wives, Guns and Chocolate. The first book in each series is a USA Today Bestseller.Death by Chocolate is the first of seven books in that series. It's hard to make listeners sit still for the length of a book!

When I went to bed at night, instead of a lullaby, I got a story. I grew up in a small rural town in southeastern Oklahoma where our favorite entertainment on summer evenings was to sit outside under the stars and tell stories.
