About Me
Unveiling the Writer
Growing up in a small town in Washington State, my hero was Pippy Longstockings. I was enchanted with adventures, having them and reading about this. From an early age I wanted to be a writer, but didn't feel I had the skills. Now, as I pass my 60th year on this wonderful earth, I realize that I am a writer. Maybe a good one. I can turn a phrase and weave a story. When I greet the sun each morning, I'm going to put a word or two on paper and see what kind of adventure can be made.
Since my days as a creative writing student of award-winning authors, Ursula Hegi and John Keeble, I have been intrigued by the emotional landscape of the human experience. In addition, I love to explore the significance of place in telling a story, as both metaphor and a stepping-off point for a character’s transformative journey. My fiction highlights and celebrates strong female characters. I co-wrote and co-produced a multi-medium production titled, Her Scarf Has Wings-- a story of friendship between girls who have never met but connect through a scarf they send to each other as an expression of empathy and solidarity. Her Scarf Has Wings was performed to a full house at The Met theatre in Spokane, WA, with the accompaniment of the Spokane Youth Symphony. I currently live in St. Petersburg, FL. with my partner Roger and our brilliant dog Ellie.
