"As we write, we are both describing and deciding direction our life is taking."

Julia Cameron

Writing has sustained me since I was a child. I've got a collection of journals that span three decades, scrapbooks of notes from even earlier. There's nothing I love more than writing, listening to, or telling a good story.  

I'm the mother of two girls who are born ten years apart. I lived in Japan for over a decade.

The year I turned 50 I trained for and entered a bodybuilding competition.

 When I’m not writing I can be found weight lifting, paddle boarding, hiking  with Nala, my Border Collie mix or spooning my favorite snack–coconut manna– straight out of the jar.
