Two of my favorite things beyond writing are traveling and container gardening. Tending my flowers on my deck in spring and summer is my happy place. I love to travel, cruising is one of my favorite activities when not hold up in my office writing. I love to use locations I’ve visited as inspiration for my stories. I am a retired special education teacher and hold Batchelor of Arts in History and Masters of Education in Learning Disabilities. I plan to be a lifetime learner and enjoy taking online workshops to improve my craft. My favorite source for those is OIWI.ORG.

I live in Georgia with my husband of more years than it is safe to name. We have two adult children, two granddaughters, and one great-grandson. Our house is ruled by on small dictatorial Pomeranian named Rowdy.
