About Me

I’m the woman you see at the grocery store: no make-up, hair in a haphazard pony tail, worn jeans and a stained t-shirt. What you don’t see is that I’m complicated and interesting on the inside–just like you! I’m the mother of four incredible children, the wife of Rene, and a friend to many. I’ve been a piano teacher for over thirty years, and when I’m not being paid to nag other people’s children to practice, I’m either tending to my flower garden, or somewhere with my nose in a book. After writing in my head for most of my adult life, I finally finished a novel. LOST IN OAXACA was published by She Writes Press in April, 2020.
