I've always been a light sleeper, easily awakened by the slightest unfamiliar noise. Tonight was no exception. As I stirred from my sleep, a sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach. Someone was in the living room. Could it be one of my sisters? Without hesitating, I glanced over and saw both of them sound asleep in their beds. So, who was out there? A robber, perhaps?

I've always been a light sleeper, easily awakened by the slightest unfamiliar noise. Tonight was no exception. As I stirred from my sleep, a sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach. Someone was in the living room. Could it be one of my sisters? Without hesitating, I glanced over and saw both of them sound asleep in their beds. So, who was out there? A robber, perhaps? Fear gripped me, and I prayed fervently that no harm would come to my family.With utmost caution, I tiptoed out of bed, determined to investigate. Like a shadow, I made my way through the hallway, careful not to make a sound. The only option was to wake up my oblivious parents, who remained fast asleep in their own room. They hadn't noticed the disturbance at all. But then, I heard it-a faint rustling of paper and the clink of a glass being shifted on the table. The realization hit me like a bolt of lightning. I had to discover the intruder's identity, and I had to do it quickly.
Autorenporträt
I've never been the girl next door. I was more the, "I want excitement and adventure girl," and boy, have I had it! At seventeen I won Miss North Kansas City/Miss Kansas City North in the Miss Missouri/Miss World Pageant in 1965 and was honored to win Miss Congeniality. At nineteen, I auditioned and won a place in a ballet company that traveled throughout Europe. I had a successful career in restaurant management, before and after the military. At just under the age of 35, joined the U.S. Navy and was one of the first 50 enlisted women to serve aboard a Navy ship and served honorably as a Radioman for 7 years. Now at 75 and legally blind, I am doing what I love most, writing and taking care of my sweet Beagle, Snoopy.
