About Me

Hello! Welcome to the cozy, country life of this author.

I live on a ranchette in Northwest Wyoming with my love of forty-one years and two of my three grown daughters nearby. My grandchildren inspire me to laugh a lot, continue to cut, paste, fingerpaint, and write silly songs and stories to keep us all up close in our hearts. My favorite word: FAMILY! …though I have been writing since I was seven years old.

Come back often and see what’s new on the ranchette!
