: About Me

I am a small town girl from West Texas, now settled in the hill country. We live a quiet life, and I would not want it any other way.

Writing allows me to integrate truth, fiction, fantasy, and what comes from the heart, into something that may intrigue a reader. It also gives me much satisfaction when what I write is complimented.

Most of my poetry is from life's lessons, many learned the hard way. My parents were good people, but they did not spare the rod, and spoil the child. I'm sure I deserved every lesson.

I love deeply, forgive easily, and have a passion for life. The simple things in life are free. Those are what I seek. A hot cup of coffee with a friend is much more important than anything else that may be on a days agenda.

My passion is ...

writing and photography

I know too much about ...

being an overly protective Mom

My parents always told me ...

anything worth doing is worth doing right.

My childhood ambition ...

I wanted to be a Ballerina

My favorite memory ...

Riding in my Aunts car while it was snowing at night.

Why I write ...

The words in my soul have nowhere to go unless I write.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Listening to the hum of the fan in the bedroom.

My first job ...

Soda jerk at an old fashioned drugstore when I was 14.

My best moment ...

The day I married my husband.

My inspiration ...

My family and friends
