My husband, Fred, and I live in Claremont, California, a small town near Los Angeles.  We raised our family in Virginia and were happy to find a town on the west coast that reminded us of those southern roots.

Before becoming a freelance writer, I worked in the Dean of Students Office at Claremont McKenna College.  Previous to CMC, I was employed at General Dynamics in Educational Services, acting as liaison with state colleges and universities. I have also worked as a consultant, conducting workshops on Behavior Modification and Stress Management.

My published articles have appeared in magazines such as Mature Living, Alive, Writers’ Journal, etc.  I have published articles on several on-line magazines.  I am presently marketing two family saga novels (Promises to Keep and Lydia) and a mystery set in the high desert (Desert Soliloquy).  My latest writing project is a sequel to Lydia, completing the family saga trilogy.

I am a member of the Inland Empire Branch of the California Writers Club and facilitate a weekly writers’ critique group at Borders Bookstore, where I enjoy the camaraderie of other writers.
