I’ve been writing forever. Poems, plays, short stories, cookbooks, grants, newsletters, newspaper articles and now full-length novels.Growing up in New England where summers are sweet, but winters are long and cold has given me lots of opportunity to expand my creativity.I have enjoyed: basket weaving, spinning wool, quilting, canning, teaching cooking and traveling.I have been a recipe tester, sailor, farmer, shepherd, cattlewoman, chick herder and Master Gardener.Like many women, I have worked full-time, raised two children, and helped my husband’s career. Finally, I get to make my dream come true. After all, dreams never die, and new doors open every day.Today, I live in sunny Florida with my husband enjoying paradise. In addition to writing novels, I recently took up birding, and photography. My photos have done well in local contests.My stories are about courage, redemption and second chances.
