About Gail
Gail grew up in Ohio, moving to northern California in her early twenties. Her daughters Laura and Michelle were born in Salinas, California, and when they were very young, they moved to Charlotte, North Carolina and later north to Urbana, Maryland. One more move took them to the beautiful Pacific Northwest where Gail and her family have lived for the last thirty-five years. She and her husband Terry are a blended family and have five amazing daughters and nine wonderful grandchildren.
Gail attended Western Washington University receiving both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Communication Sciences and Disorders and enjoyed a productive and rewarding thirty-year career as a Speech-Language Pathologist providing therapy and instruction to children with special needs, later serving as the Director of Rehabilitation in a regional hospital and ending her career teaching at Western Washington University.
Throughout her career, Gail wrote and published instructional programs for children with special needs. Twelve years ago, she turned her love of writing to fiction completing the three awarding-winning historical fiction novels in her Lavender Meuse Trilogy series. The award-winning books in her historical cozy mystery series entitled The Drew Davies Railway Mysteries take place in Wales post-WW2. Gail self-publishes through her publishing house, Noble Press. Gail and husband Terry love to travel the world exploring and conducting research for her historical novels.
