Hello, and welcome to my site.
I’m a longtime columnist and feature writer for the Norfolk Daily News out of Norfolk, Nebraska. I’ve published six books so far with more on the way. The current six, The Clearwater House, State of Georgia . . . And Other Writings, Ticker Tape, Twinges, Trouble on Tybee, and Her Ride or Die are all available for purchase via Amazon as paperbacks or eBooks. They are also available to read through the Kindle Unlimited program. I’ve received Honorable Mention writing awards from “Writer’s Digest” and the Lorian Hemingway Short Story Competition (2018). I have done stand-up comedy and hope to get back into it now that I’ve officially retired from teaching. I taught secondary English and Spanish for thirty years. When I’m not writing, I’m reading, traveling, riding my Harley, watercolor painting, cross-stitching, walking my dog, swimming laps, or spending time with the people I love. I have two grown children, a wonderful boyfriend, loving parents, and strong connections with the seven exchange students I’ve hosted from Mexico, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
I love to read fiction, and I have a collection of all the Pulitzer Prize winners in fiction. I’m working my way through them, and I write about the books I read in my column which is called “Novel Thoughts.” When I list my favorite novels, The Count of Monte Cristo always tops the list. Additionally, I love The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, To Kill a Mockingbird, Angle of Repose, The Shadow of the Wind, The Book Thief, Water for Elephants, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, The Weight of Ink, and An Unfinished Life.
I welcome any questions or comments you might have about me or my writing. I also welcome any opportunities to do readings at libraries, bookstores, book fairs, etc. You can contact me on the Contact page of this website. Thanks for visiting!
