I write short fiction, novels, and plays. I love the worlds I can create with words. It’s always a surprise to discover the lives of the people in these worlds, and I’m grateful to lose myself in their stories.

I live in Tigard, Oregon, where life is greener than green.

I've published 'Between Blinks, Artfully Short Stories.' This is a collection of over 300 quick tales, each complete and unique, within the length of a tweet! This book is now available on Amazon in paperback as well as ebook.

I'm currently drafting a series of novellas, 'Riversbend Jazz for guns, sax, and bass fiddle.' Set in 2020 America, it's the story of a politically-diverse family living and loving and fighting their way through that history-making year. In this work, I'm revisiting the family I created for an earlier novel, 'Riversbend Elegy for guns, sax, and harp.' I also have a third novel well along in progress, 'Flying Through The Air With No Particular Ease.'

I'm not currently a member of any professional association.

I'm one of four women in a lovely, long-lived writing circle.
