You write a lot as a secretary. Anyway, I did get my bio re-written and posted in About Us and I think it's a lot better. Thank you Linda!C.L.

(Inside joke, Nancy Jill will understand). Still with help from your article, I think I can improve it quite a bit.C.L.

Thank you for your help.<br /><br /><br />C.L. Ragsdale was born in California, but does not fit the "California Girl" image as she does not surf, swims enough to keep herself from drowning and she and the "great outdoors" have only a nodding acquaintance. She loves to embroider and knit, with varying degrees of competence, and is a self-admitted internet junkie who loves to research plot details for her books, the more obscure the better. A big fan of the old Scooby Doo cartoons, her mysteries are more fun and humorous than chills and thrills.C.L.

Next, I listed your academic credentials. You can drop the minor as if's not crucial. I listed where you were born, grew up and live now, but add family or pet(s) to add a bit of personality.
