She was promoted to Sergeant and worked in the Special Investigative Unit as a detective in the Sexual Assault Unit. She was also specially trained in Child Abuse investigations and Domestic Violence.

She passed her Staff Sergeant exams and attained the rank of Acting Staff Sergeant before she left policing and moved on to another career in which she owned a water access resort in northern Ontario that included 12 rental cottages, fishing boat and canoe rentals, and a small general store.

After seven years she sold the resort and taught Police Foundations at a small college in Sudbury, Ontario, before she moved to Victoria, B.C.

She moved back to northern Ontario and concentrated on her work as a freelance writer going back to what she missed most, writing.

Well before her policing career, she graduated from Print Journalism. She has been writing for over 40 years including her time as a police officer and resort owner. Her articles included a weekly fitness column, feature stories, and a short stint as a beat reporter for criminal court and town council.

Back in her early days, as an offshoot from her fitness column and training as a fitness instructor, she started her own business, Basic Fitness.

K.L. McCluskey answered Goodreads's question: Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story? She felt a shiver down her spine and reached her hands to rub her eyes. She could only feel her pillow and something sticky where her head should have been and instinctively knew that there would be no awakening.
