Woman, mother, daughter, sister, feminist, partner, author of 14 books, lover of wine and kind hearts, hiker, camper, kayaker...I would rather be outside with my face in the wind and walking in the wilderness than inside with artificial light and noise from machines. Former working journalist, worm and tomato picker, university instructor, magazine writer, managing editor, lifeguard, waitress, and yes, I've won a mess of awards but who cares? Let's all smile and laugh!
