Aleas has always been a mystery
buff, tipping her toes occasionally
into the paranormal. Her fascination
with mystery crime solving
began early in her adult life while
working for the FBI. After marrying
and while raising her young
family, she began her studies in
medicine, becoming a registered
nurse. This career path opened many doors into life-or-death
experiences. She remains an avid reader of mystery novels
and soon decided to write one of her own. She describes the
process of writing as the characters appearing before her on
a movie screen, and she writes what she is seeing.
“They take on a life of their own,” she says, “leading
me in the direction they want me to go.”
Recently retiring from the medical world, she is enjoying
the new direction her life is taking.
