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.

Like for many writers that is not just time sitting in front of the computer with my fingers flying over the keys, but time in my head. My writer’s brain likes quiet. Some mundane, no-brain tasks are fine, but nothing too engaging. It always amazes me how quickly I can dive into the writing world, no coaxing…
Read MoreLots of people get fired up in arguments about politics. We tend to take sides, feel things deeply. We are after all, human. I can feel very strongly over the issues of equal rights, equality, women’s rights, accepting differences, disability rights, diversity. I enjoy people from other cultures, religions, backgrounds, and places. I enjoy learning about our similarities and our differences. I have always known there are people who thrive…
