: About Me

Published the first time in the 1980s. Women's Editor for a small newsmagazine in the 1980s. Staff writer for newspaper in 80s. Unwisely, took a different path in life. I have returned to writing.

I write on AssociatedContent.com and on Newsvine.com. Currently I am new on Helium.

I consider writing the gift I've been given. But I was also given a few others. I am mother to two teens in the early college system. I am a care-giver to a family member. Care-giving is challenging, but definitely rewarding.

Enjoy gardening.

I am a follower of Jesus though I am anything but a mainstream christian.

My passion is ...

Writing. Jesus. Paranormal. Travel.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a dancer

Why I write ...

I love it.
