Welcome!
I’ve been an avid writer since high school, where one of my first “creative writing assignments” was published in the school newspaper. I was later asked to be on staff and was named Editor in my senior year.
Through the years, I’ve written articles for many local and national publications, and I was an active blogger for decades.
I’m the proud author of six novels.
You can learn more about them by visiting my Amazon Author page if you’re interested in reading sample chapters, reviews from other readers, or purchasing your own copies.
I’m now retired and living outside Dallas, Texas with my husband; we’ve been together for nearly 30 years.
In 1998, I was diagnosed with cancer, and we’ve confronted that disease, on and off, for 20+ years, enduring various forms of treatments. Some were more successful than others.
From the beginning, as a writer, I decided to transparently journal and share my experience.
In 2023, we learned that my cancer had returned. We did several treatments (radiation, chemo, etc.), but they were unsuccessful.
In October of 2025, my oncologist told us my prognosis was terminal, and I only had several months to live.
Not great news, though I have to say, my life has been an “e-ticket” ride.
(Yes, that’s a dated reference!)
For that reason, you won’t find contact information for me if you have questions or wish to “discuss” some of my observations, opinions, beliefs, or conclusions. More than likely, I won’t be here to interact.
This is essentially a Legacy site, to promote and preserve my books, and hopefully, some of my writings.
Again, thanks for your visit.
