I'm a kayaker, writer, mother, wife, gardener, teacher, cat lover, and book addict.  "Well written," "quirky sense of humor," and "doesn't fit the genre" are the comments I hear most about my books and stories. I live in the Pacific Northwest with one cat and one husband. Most recently, "Mother, May I" was accepted for the Halloween edition of Tales From the Moonlit Path, and "Xanthippe" was included in the Brigid's Gate anthology Musings of the Muses. Ferry Findings, a collection of short stories, is published by Kitsap Publishing. Snail's Pace, a sci-fi space opera, is published by Water Dragon Publishing, and the science fiction short story "Club Earth" is available from Ukiyoto Publishing.
