ABOUT ME
I am an author living in the American Southwest by way of Chicago.  I write stories about ordinary people who do extraordinary things, oftentimes against the backdrop of Native American legends. Many of my novels and short stories are set in the Southwest because I think the desert is a cool place.

My path from hobby writer to published writer was neither easy nor quick.  From the time of my first story till publication of my first novel, I have worked as a woefully bad receptionist, teacher, technical writer, project manager, and IT Director for a Fortune 500 firm.  

Born and raised in Park Ridge, Illinois, I moved to Arizona after college, never expecting to live more than one year among cactus and people who’d never seen snow.  I was wrong.  When I'm not busy writing my next novel, I like to travel, visit museums, support local theater productions, and pretend that I'm training for a triathlon. 

My husband Craig and I live very happily in Phoenix, Arizona. 

Thanks for stopping by!
