About Me
For me writing is a passion, or perhaps a compulsion.
I was born, raised, and educated mostly in Orange County, California. A voracious reader as a child, I became interested in writing early on. I wrote my first short story in second grade about an ant. It ended rather abruptly when the ant was smashed by a foot.
By the time I reached her mid-twenties, I was living a near-gypsy existence, moving from one city to another. I traveled to Europe several times (Scotland is the preferred destination) and to the Middle East, and tried numerous occupations including climbing telephone poles, picking oranges on a kibbutz in Israel, and managing a bookstore. I went back to school for a Teaching Credential from Cal State University, Long Beach, and did my student teaching in Hampshire, England.
I moved numerous times more—mostly eastward and northward to San Francisco and then the Sierra Nevada mountains—and now I reside in rural Eastern Washington State with my husband, a wolf-canine mix, a cattle dog, and a cat that believes she is really a dog.
