In story, we understand our past, reshape our present, create our future.

That’s why I love writing stories.

—My Story—

I’ve been creating stories since childhood, but only finished a full-length novel a few years ago. Without life, the good and the bad, there wouldn’t be much to write about! Because this is a website, though, I’m going to stick to the good. ;-) They are:

• Having truly wonderful friends and family

• Marrying a rock-climbing, marathon-running guy who’s pushed me to finish all these story ideas

• Having lovely kiddos

• Living overseas in France, England, Spain

• Living for several years in Québec, where I became fluent in French

• Running a niche copywriting business in the PNW, creating websites for small businesses

• History and political science degree while working sessions at the Washington State Senate
