Years ago I decided to blog and it opened up my entire life to writing. With more than 400 blogs, I decided to then try my “pen” and write some books. So the blogs have been very important to me.
My bio includes a husband, a fluffy labradoodle,and great kids.
As a graduate of San Jose State I followed my grandmother’s footsteps who also graduated from San Jose Normal School in 1917. Eventually graduating with a major in Political Science degree, I then went to work at the phone company and after 26 years of service, took a buyout in lieu of an annuity. Only 46 years old, I started a new career as a stockbroker. Then I retired after successfully building a financial services business with my husband. Finally, I retired for good in 2000.
Now, I’m writing a book about my family which starts in 1850 when my great great grandfather left Beloit to go to California during the gold rush. My great grandfather and mother ended up living in Paso Robles, raising a family and farming on a 3,000 acre ranch known as the Dresser Ranch. It is a very fun project. Perhaps 2024 it will be ready to publish. I’m working really hard to make it so..
Recently, I joined Anne Allen’s group of writers to hon my skill and learn from others. And I am now submitting writings to the monthly meetings.So happy I found them!!
In addition to writing, I paddle on a dragon boat, I golf poorly, cooking is my hobby, and reading is something I enjoy.

Please see on this site, links to the short story that won the 2012 Ingrid Reti Award and a lot more from this very talented writer.
"I mostly write teen fiction, though I occasionally dabble in adult & middle grade short fiction. My short stories have appeared in Highlights for Children, READ, Pangolin Papers, Eureka, Short Story, & others, & have made it into anthologies four times, once in a Darby Creek publication to rub elbows with stories by Joseph Bruchac, David Lubar, & Terry Trueman, & once with Heinemann to slip between the covers with the likes of Vivian Vande Velde, Avi, Gloria Skurzynski, & Neal Shusterman. Under the tutelage of fellow Nightwriter, Anne Allen, I'm in the process of pulling together a short story collection I hope to make available as an e-book, & I'm still trying to get a traditional publisher to buy one of my completed teen novels. I've been in a Nightwriters critique group for 17 or 18 years & I'm an avid member of SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators), & co-coordinator for our county. Oh, & I teach middle school. Just in case all that doesn' keep me busy enough, I've launched myself into the world of audiobook narrating. To date I've narrated two Scottish zombie books for Crossroads Press & hope to finish my third in a couple of weeks. At that point, I'll start in on what will be my fourth audiobook, which is a middle grade book for Do Life Right, Inc.
Life is good."
Life is good."
