About Me
I’ve been writing middle-grade and YA novels for the past seven years. It’s been exciting and scary; freeing and frustrating; upbeat and depressing–often all at the same time! Welcome to the world of writing.
One of the major distractions from churning out those pages is that stack of books I keep buying or checking out from the library. It’s the pull of story, and I have to succumb to it.
I’m a person who is content with the routine and predictable pleasures of life. My first cup of morning coffee, getting together with friends, reading, taking in a good movie. I’m an inveterate watcher of sunrise and sunsets, and the winter sky at dusk thrills me. Did I mention I’m easy to please?
My husband is the adventurous one in the family. He’s coaxed me away from books, both reading and writing, the past several summers for hikes across parts of England, and this year, France. We hike from one town to the next, staying at B&B’s, walking sometimes as much as 15 miles a day. Even though I complain, I’m proud of holding my own. Having friends along, both old and new, keeps me laughing and pushes me to finish that last mile.
That’s me, for now anyway.
