Like a desert packrat, I collect experiences and observations on my travels which have included Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean as well as forty-six of the fifty states.

I originally come from Ohio where I received degrees in theater and education from the Ohio State University. My husband and I moved to Arizona and I went on to earn a Master’s Degree in theater from Arizona State University, build a career in local theater and another career in politics, raise three boys and finally launch a successful freelance writing way of life. I have lived in and explored Arizona and the west for over forty years.

This third career works. Editors give me repeat business. Organizations have recognized my work with five national 1st place awards and several state awards from the National Federation of Press Women and an honorable mention in profiles from the Fraternity Editors Association.

I agree with the late William F. Buckley’s response when he gave his reasons to keep writing. “One is creating something. One is being paid for it. And one is the feeling that I haven’t been sitting on my (butt) all afternoon.”

To that end...ahem...please drop by my blog -
