Member Since
February 2011


Born in Oklahoma, I went to high school there and to Oklahoma University, where I received an MA. I worked at several different jobs, as a teacher, social worker, paralegal, and finally, as a writer.

When I was 37, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which did much to explain my inability to hold onto a job. I spent five years, without the internet or books, looking for the right medications. Finally, in 1988, I checked myself into Parkland, in Dallas, and was given the correct meds for me. Since then I have been stable, and have written books in an attempt to help others.

I just read the comments on my books for the first time. I laughed so hard; one person says on "Sugar and Salt" that it is excellent, that she has never read a better book on the subject. Meanwhile, the other one says she found the book so boring and frustrating that she wanted to throw it in the fire! Different strokes.

However, I was sorry that the person who commented on "Flying Butresses" found Read more of this blog post »

“Included in the Presqueville is the Cathedrale St.-Jean, a church built during medieval times, including both Romanesque and Gothic styles; its nave, with its flying buttresses flinging out their support as the walls sweep toward the heavens”
Jane Thompson

“The endless, agonizing recycling of what might have been, soon followed by a litany of rationalizations and self-deceptions as you struggle to reconcile the void between the person you want to be and the person you fear you are..”
John Krakauer

“Included in the Presqueville is the Cathedrale St.-Jean, a church built during medieval times, including both Romanesque and Gothic styles; its nave, with its flying buttresses flinging out their support as the walls sweep toward the heavens”
Jane Thompson

“The buildings, covered by red tiled roofs, undulate over the hillsides like a drift of wildflowers.”
Jane Thompson

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
Edna St. Vincent Millay, A Few Figs from Thistles
