About Me

  • I am a slug who is always looking for a way to earn a living reading light weight novels! Once in a while inspiration hits and I actually sit down at my desk and work on one of the many women's bios that I have started and will finish "some day." When all else fails, I needlepoint or knit and watch television.

Relationship Status

  • Married a LONG time!

Family

  • Husband, four adult stepchildren and four grandchildren

Interests & Hobbies

  • Reading, knitting and needlepoint. And, I walk marathons.

UPCOMING WORK

  • Trying to finish a story about a woman who was the first licensed female steamboat pilot in the Pacific Northwest. Started two different stories about catholic nuns who were real feminists before the word feminist was even used.

INFLUENCES

  • I like to write about dead women. Preferably ones who lived at the end of the 19th century and the first 10 or 15 years of the 20th century. Short bios about women who quietly worked to make Oregon great or, at least, infamous! Like to do oral histories, sometimes.

CAUSES I SUPPORT

  • Women for Women International
