Born and raised in St. Louis, I spent chapters of my life in Kansas City, Connecticut, and Puerto Rico. I now call Texas home, where my husband of nearly thirty years and I raised three sons. We have settled not far from where my great-great-grandfather, Peter O’Reilly, lived and is buried, and less than a mile from the very railroad tracks he built with his own hands. I am currently working on the sequel to "The Family Mosaic," called "Denton," which will be available in 2028.
