About me

Life on Earth is an amazing adventure. 

It took me a long, long time to understand the value of creative play. I was lucky enough to have four children, so, for many years, I had a good excuse to play and experiment with all sorts of materials. 

I kept coming back to the written word. My best medium.

THE LADY IN THE GRAY SPACE

WINNER: 2022 Santa Fe Reporter  Short Story Contest

A TALE OF TWO FUNERALS

Short story based on one of my memorable experiences as a hospice volunteer. Accepted as a contribution for the dia de las muertas celebration at Albuquerque's historic Fairviiew Cemetery. Now slated for inclusion in the NM Humanities Council's Cemetery Stories anthology

With a Master's Degree in Spiritual Psychology, and a Doctorate degree in Consciousness Studies, my writing interests are wide and varied. 

In no particular order...

I have been writing forever. I remember creating books with my friends as a young child, writing and illustrating adventure stories. 

I was once a featured poet at a local bookstore celebration of poetry month. I read my poems Shoes, and Hall Closet. Though this was many years ago--seems like an entirely different life--people still mention how those poems affected them. I am honored.

I was a childbirth and parenting educator for many years and had articles published in Peter's Path, a Journal of Parenting and Spirituality.

I have written several full-length manuscripts and ghost written one. 

I have been mentioned in the acknowledgment in three separate books.
