From the outside, Dorothy M Fletcher seems to be a fairly typical New Zealand senior citizen.  But, on the inside she is as young, desirable, and vivacious in spirit as her heroines.  Originally from England, she has lived in both hemispheres of this Earth, and has filled many roles in her life - from taking the curl out of wallpaper, to teaching and acting as the principal of a primary school, to being a wife, mother, and grandmother, and an amateur singer and actress. She now spends her golden years as a passionate author dedicated to fun, murder mystery and romance in books that are enjoyable by all.
