I'm a writer with a day job who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. My claim to fame is that I managed to raise four kids on my own and live to write about it. I also run around with a ukulele a lot and play with various groups from Santa Cruz to San Francisco and in between and beyond! I grew up in San Francisco and write a lot about living through the 60s and 70s.

I wrote a memoir about about "surviving" many mishaps and adventures as a single mom with four kids -- it's also about my own Mom. I continue to write stories -- but I think now it's a second memoir. I also write about growing up in San Francisco in the '60's and '70s and am working on a screenplay (adapted from my story) called "Free Stubs!" about a young girl in San Francisco who rescues a three-legged guinea pig from a pet store. The screenplay takes place in San Francisco in the 1960's -- and I use the neighborhood I grew up in as the setting.
