I don't wish to be defined by what I do. Instead, I wish to be known for who I am. For 30+ years, I had a successful career in marketing and public relations. Since 1999, I've been writing full-time. My first book, a memoir, "Following the Whispers," was published in 2009. Prior to that, I published essays and articles in newspapers and magazines. I am currently trying my hand at fiction, as well as a non-fiction book on aging. I write, sing, folkdance, play the guitar, read voraciously, hike, and love hanging out with friends, laughing, talking and playing games.I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico with my husband, Gary, and our dog, Buddy.
