edit data

After raising a family and engaging in several careers, I have returned to my first love, writing. My recent publications include fiction, non-fiction, and poetry in various literary journals, magazines, and newspapers--and now, my first novel, Water on the Moon.

I am happiest with my laptop in place, hands on the keyboard, with Sly, our truly wonderful rescue (black Lab) snoozing by my side while I tap away.

Follow your bliss, we are told, as though it were that easy. I am so very grateful for the time I now have to do it.

not for everyone But the writing is riveting, sometimes so exquisite, the reader is cast back to earth with a line so funny, she can’t help laughing out loud.
