I decided to write a story that included popular elements of the supernatural within a strong story about family. My belief in God figures prominently within this story. It is set in a time that seems long ago to us now: 1967 was a year before much of our society exploded in violent culture wars and protests over Vietnam.
Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, I won two medals in literary competitions. I have written fiction and poetry since I first learned how to write my name. I’ve written fanfiction and melodramas. Currently I live in the central Arizona highlands with my husband, dogs Dandy and Puck, and a saddle horse named Shadow. Every week day I drive a mile to the school where I teach all subjects to elementary students. On weekends I try to write as much as possible and still get the chores finished. When the weather is cool, I enjoy hiking in the nearby mountains, attending events in the former territorial capital of Prescott, or going with my husband to harvest wood for our fireplace. My life is full and predictable, just the way I like it to be.view less
