Challenge and change energize me.

In my career as a pediatric physical therapist, I’ve helped hundreds of children gain strength and motor skills. That left me spare time (ha!) to teach Sunday School, direct an after-school program, organize an international student-athlete exchange, and help plan and implement construction of a new community playground. Along the way, I've learned a bit about tang soo do and sudoku, tap dancing and German, whole foods cooking, and the joy of selling on ebay. Anything to avoid cleaning!

I write fiction and non-fiction for young and young-minded readers surrounded inspirational quotes, vinyl records, countless books, and innumerable dust bunnies.

In either case, I handle it by trying to become buried in the story, like the way feet along the shore can be buried by repeated waves. I get into position - chin slightly lifted, eyes closed, fingers on the keyboard. I let my characters and settings and problems wash around me. Usually in minutes (although admittedly sometimes longer), I am submerged in the story. Then I let the story reveal itself through my fingertips. (less)

When something like the above ^^ happens, it's otherworldly. Letting go of conscious effort and allowing my subconscious creativity room to dance is a joy that defies description.(less)

Us vs Them

When folks ask about my historical novels, I explain the stories' premises and my motivation for writing them. Given half a chance, I'll also mention my take-away lesson about the Nazi era: when a country is divided into Us vs Them, that country and its citizens are in trouble. 


At a community event where I sold books last weekend, I said this during a number of conversations with potential cus

“of film had come to me! “That way when you’re discharged, you might still be of some use. Not like the rest of these,” he waved his hand at the ward, “these useless eaters.”

“My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”
Thomas Merton, Thoughts in Solitude
