My Bio

I look quiet and consistent but few know how many women there are in me." ~ Anais Nin
Lonely only creates new worlds – that's me. I grew up as a shy only child, finding another world through reading and my voice through writing.
Admittedly a gypsy soul, I’ve traveled to Peru, Spain, Ireland, England, France, Paris, Italy, Rome, London, Mexico, the Caribbean and much of the U.S. savoring the unique people, fabulous food, and spectacular places along the way.
I’m a novice golfer who finds strange satisfaction knocking a ball around a beautiful golf course. My husband and I live in Tucson with two black cats. All these things find their way into my books. I'm here to tell a story so you'll know you aren't alone, to give you love, laughter, and maybe a few tears. And hope for a joyful life. Go for it!

Love of the West pulled me into editing/writing the memoirs of traders to the Navajo - TALES from WIDE RUINS; and a cookbook, CORAZÓN CONTENTO with my friend, Madeline Gallego Thorpe (see history books on my Bookshelf).
CORAZÓN CONTENTO, SONORAN RECIPES
and STORIES FROM THE HEART will warm your soul.
