All About Me
Evidently I was born, although I do not remember the party. Stories indicate I had a pink carnation in the nursery that I greatly admired. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family, filled with curiosity, acceptance and more than our fair share of laughter. We have
our tragedies and trials, but somehow, we usually manage to band together and face them with as much strength as possible.
My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination. I imagine I am not easy to live with on a regular basis, especially because I am not always present where my feet are, but I also tend to babble and talk to my characters as I am plotting. Yes, he deserves a medal.
For thirty years, I was the teacher in a classroom. It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

I grew up without a dishwasher or microwave. So I lack some of the connectedness that some younger people have. Technology whirls around me and I pick and choose what I’ll adopt and what I’ll pass on. Learning new…
Read MoreLike most writers I love books, I read books, lots of books, all kinds of books. To be clear I buy books. Old books, used books, new books, I get books in lots of places. Today I stopped by a half price book store. Yes some of the books are new, some are used, some have been previously sniffed. I was standing by the registers, my dad was actually paying…
