Chief

I was born and raised in MA. Although trained as a secondary school teacher, with a math-science major and an English major, I spent most of my working years in the the

business world. Now, in the winter of my life, I have written and published three

novels: "The Reluctant Cougar," Chief Samson and Reverend Delilah," and my newest

novel, "The Sins of Our Parents," a novel filled with love, family triangles, terrorists and redemption.

My husband, M. Douglas Stafford, passed away in February of 2015. I am the mother

of five children and five stepchildren, and the proud and interactive grandmother of

nine grandchildren and seven step-grandchildren. Life is good and filled with the joy

and humor each day brings to my corner and the family and friends who share life

with me.
