She has visited England, Scotland, the Rocky Mountains, the Ozarks, and the banks of the Kansas River, all stages for her stories. Her current releases, THE JOURNEY HOME and TRESPASSING TIME, fulfill a life-long desire to write what she loves to read besides romances, stories about ghosts and the paranormal. Madl’s nonfiction work includes feature stories and book reviews for newspapers and magazines, newsletters for technical firms, engineering project profiles, and military award writing. As a professional she has been active in the St. Louis Writers Guild (past president), Romance Writers of America, KS Writers, Inc. (past president and charter member), and Novelists, Inc.
