Thank you for visiting!
I won’t take much front page space talking about myself, but here are THREE words that might help you know me better:
Observer. I’m fascinated by what’s happening around me. And I often have an opinion! It’s this aspect that motivates what I often share on my Facebook page—personal insights, life lessons, current events, writing techniques, answers to questions from folks, silly stuff, random ramblings, and serious matters.
Writer. My writing flows out of what I’ve experienced, and who I am. (Plus extensive research!) I’m the author of five novels.
Survivor! I feel fortunate to have survived my harsh background in Fundamental Christianity. Because of the rigid teaching of my faith, I spent years seeking to change my sexual orientation. I’m grateful to have survived that experience; I have dear friends who did not, and took their own life as an escape.
Also, I’m a cancer survivor who is once again confronted with this insidious disease.
These days, I’m retired, living outside Dallas with my husband and our skittish rescue mutt, Brody.
That’s me…in a nutshell.
(Those who know me will affirm that the operative word is...nut!)
By the way, if you’re interested, there’s an expanded version of my bio.
