About Me
Raised in the Spokane Valley, Washington, moved to Montana 30 years ago. I am a mom of four grown children; grandmother of six; and one great-grandson. I studied creative & technical writing in college many years ago. I went for a time without writing when my kids were young. I am now getting back into it through Writing.com. Before rekindling my writing tasks, I worked as a caregiver and phlebotomist. One of the things I enjoyed most was being a board member of a small Montana museum.
Type of Writer
I write about characters I have met or imagined. I write short fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.
Writing Style
I write "by the seat of my pants" usually without an outline. I research, then I write.
Interests
My interests include hiking, reading, writing, watching crime drama on TV and movies, working on the house. I am political in my private life, and activist when the cause is important. I love my dogs and cat. I like to travel and camp.
