Born and reared in San Diego, CA, I now happily live in NC with my husband of 54 years. We are lucky to have a son and daughter fairly close, and three grandchildren. I have one sister who BETA reads for me because she's a fine writer and always tells me the truth, whether I want to hear it or not! My hobbies include sewing, (especially for the annual church holiday sale and Care Buddy outfits for the children having procedures at our local hospital), playing piano, and writing. I've written books and stories my whole life, but have only recently decided to publish them. I love taking the seed of a concept and developing it into a saga with memorable characters. I love the Lord our God and lean toward life's happier side.
