I was born and raised in the Midwest, but unabashedly aspired for adventure elsewhere, following my parents’ model. Writing is my elegant hobby, post-career as a speech-language pathologist. While I adored my successful private practice, I prefer writing – if I don’t like a character’s behavior, I can hit delete!
I live in Southern California, where seasons seldom matter, where any promise can be conjured and fulfilled. I write while my husband watches TV sports—often. He’s glad that I didn’t choose to play the French Horn as a post-career hobby.

Writing is a silent sport.

My genre is commercial women’s fiction. I wrote a series titled Faith, Family, Frenzy! about the small town & rural Midwest. I know the characters and settings very well and my fertile imagination creates the plots. None of the escapades I create have happened to anyone anywhere, not even me.

Perhaps my series is a form of memoir…

I write humor and satire with a literary bent. Besides the four novels, I’ve published two short story anthologies and have a third in mind … I’m available to speak to your group or book club. I’m eager to engage with other writers and readers of my books.

I am having a blast!
