In addition to teaching school, raising, training, showing horses and giving lessons, working in her church, volunteering in the community, keeping house and taking care of her family, Sioux Dallas trained to be a detective. She has always had a desire to know about what was involved. Dallas will be the first one to admit she is far from perfect, but she does love writing these books now that she is unable to participate in the activities she loved so much. After she retired from teaching, she trained to be an aerobics instructor and worked for a well-known gym for eight years. Now in a wheelchair, she rolls joyfully through life and writes about real happenings with fictional people.
