: About Me

Regardless of style or purpose, I love all forms of writing.

I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada, although I was raised an Air Force brat and lived in the western USA and in southern England.

A former human resources director, I've been a stay at home mom for the last eleven years.

My children are growing, and they need me a little less each day. It's a little bittersweet, but on the other hand it leaves more time to write.

My passion is ...

Writing. My children. Writing about my children.

I know too much about ...

Human Resources

My parents always told me ...

Wash your hands

My childhood ambition ...

To have a secretary, instead of being one.

My favorite memory ...

The expression on my son's face when he looked up at the mountain he had just climbed.

Why I write ...

Storytelling is a part of the human experience

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

"Under The Black Flag" by David Cordingly, "Invisible Leadership" by Robert Rabbin, "Doing the Right Thing" by Aaron Hass, Ph.D., and Writing For Young Children by Lewis (yes, all at the same time.) Listening to "The Faerie Shaman" by Gwdion and "I'll Have My Chants This Time A Round" by Khrysso Heart LeFey. Watching endless repeats of my young son's favorite movie, Star Wars III.

My first job ...

babysitter

My best moment ...

falling in love

My inspiration ...

All kinds of nature, including human nature
