I live on a island in the Puget Sound with my husband and my dogs. I am a retired teacher, presently doing in -home care for disabled people while volunteering at a dog rescue

My degree is in art, and I am a painter, graphic artist, and ceramic sculptor. The writing started about five years ago, a surprise to me and everyone who knows me, since I had never written anything before.

The review for my first book in Kirkus Review: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-re...


I think I learned to write by reading. I am a voracious omnivore of books.

Remembering Charlie Kirk

If the Trump admin can silence a widely popular comedian, they can silence anyone for thought crimes. On this day of remembrance, never forget that all of this--the stochastic violence, the actual violence, the abuse of power, the corruption of institutions, the "othering" of a targeted populations so they can be abused, the attacks on science and education, the creation of martyrs--it has all hap Read more of this blog post »

I was expecting a romance with a bit of thriller thrown in, but it's more the other way around. Reasonably well-written, though over the top in places, this story is pretty well proofed and edited. The plot is a roller coaster ride and fun, if you do ...more

Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell
"Gets so close to a fourth star it can smell the new paint job. In fact the plot is totally 5 star – the motivations and machinations of all the characters make complete sense and are a real heartbreaker. The main character, 16 year old Ree Dolly, is " Read more of this review »

“Be not too hard
For life is short
and nothing
is given
to man.
Be not to hard
When he is sold and bought
And must manage as best he can.
Be not to hard
For soon he dies
Often no wiser than he began.
Be not too hard
For life
Is short
And nothing is given
to man.”
