Author of four published books: Mariah, September 11, Baseball Card Hero, and Home for Christmas. Participates in Nanowrimo as RayH. Enjoys romance, westerns, mystery, literary fiction, and some science fiction. During a three period, while her grandmother was in a nursing home, she wrote twelve novels. While one novel was read orally to her grandmother, Reaona worked on the next with a goal of finishing by the time the reading of the previous novel was finished. Now she is editing the completed novels while working on ideas for new stories. This gets to be a challenge because Sabrina, the yellow lab, always wants to play when Reaona gets home from work. Reaona wants to play too, but with words, not the tennis balls.
