About me

Writing is my primary interest. Reading everything I can get my hands on is a close second.

As a former elementary school teacher, turned medical office administrator, I honed my writing skills for 30+ years on lesson plans, policy and procedure manuals, job descriptions and business proposals and reports.

On the side, I perused writing classes. In my heart, I was a freelance writer just waiting for my opportunity.

In 2006 I authored a memoir titled "Someday...," which chronicles a very small slice of a unique time in my life. I currently have one fictional book, titled "Promises," in print and two other works of fiction in progress.

I like children, my family, flowers, happy endings and countless other things too numerous to list.

Peace...peace of mind...peace in my life...peace in the world

My parents always told me ...

My mother's mantra: "It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice"

Why I write ...

For the pure fun of it

My inspiration ...
