I knew from the time that I was 8 years old that I wanted to be a writer and have been writing in some capacity ever since. Happily now, it's full time. I write for both young people and adults--fiction, nonfiction, memoir, blogs. I often write about cross-cultural living (having been raised as a white girl in the Navajo Nation and lived in Denmark and New Zealand), fluidity of identity, intercultural contact, and the places where spirituality and religion meet.
