My interest in writing comes from a deep love for creativity and expression. As a child I was allowed to write on the walls. I worked as an editor on our High School Literary Magazine, Echoes in 1981. I earned my diploma in Journalism and Short Story Writing in 1993. I have had poetry published in various magazines.
Two non-fiction articles have been included in Country Woman magazine.
Two fiction stories have been published in Thema Literary Journal:
"Fairy-Feet Liar" appears in Thema An Unlikely alliance
"Lenny's Gold" appears in Thema Math & Music
My story, "Lasting Impressions" appears in the March 2010 issue of Chicken Soup For The Soul Thanks Mom book.
I am currently working on a book with Rhonda Estes of the Madison County Humane Society tentatively titled Sleeping With The Dogs. You can check it out on my blog at
