A writer working on her first novel. This follows two careers spanning forty years. Initially, I was a trial lawyer in a large firm in Chicago. After 20 years of that, I started a practice in Flagstaff, Arizona where I represented employees, mostly women, in discrimination cases. As I approached 50, I switched to selling residential real estate. I retired from real estate on September 30, 2015. I'm delighted to live in beautiful Flagstaff with my wife and many other Midwestern transplants. In January 2015, I began to write my first novel.
