She was a reporter for twenty years, including twelve years at The (Baltimore) Sun. Her other newspaper jobs included the Waco Tribune-Herald and the San Antonio Light.

Her work has been awarded the Edgar, the Anthony, the Agatha, the Shamus, the Nero Wolfe, Gumshoe and Barry awards. She also has been nominated for other prizes in the crime fiction field, including the Hammett and the Macavity.
