I live in the wet, green Pacific Northwest. When not writing, I love to research family history, dabble in art, and garden. I volunteer as an Oblate of St. Martin’s Abbey, am a retired counselor and boutique day care owner. I am a parent, grand parent, and great grand parent.

When I first started writing this series, it was in the middle of a personal crisis and writing was a way of healing. The theme that men can raise children also weighed heavily on my heart. If it weren’t for my belief in families, the unlikely family of monks at St. Alberic’s Abbey raising a child could not have blossomed into the Benediction of Paul series.

My First Book Club Talk

It is official. I was invited to present as the author of Winds of Life at my first book club. What an honor and pleasure to attend virtually on Friday evening and talk with readers of the Potlach Book Club in Anchorage, Alaska. So many wonderful questions. Many thanks for letting me be present with them while they discussed my novel Winds of Life, the first in the series The Benediction of Paul.
