Born and bred in New York, the author later moved to San Francisco - the best of both worlds. After a successful business career, she decided to follow her passion for writing - and became an award winning author for her short story work. Mildred's first book was the well received biography "Annie's Journey," followed by the spellbinding mystery, "The Strange Valley," and the supernatural thriller, "The Missions." An experienced world traveler, the author now divides her time between San Francisco and the Sierra Foothills. She spends her spare time enjoying the company of her husband and her plucky Yorkshire Terrier, and visiting with her three children and their families. This is her fourth book, "The Mystery of Seminary Hill."
