About

Born: Bonner's Ferry Idaho, 01/01/1948
Since then, lived in Washington state, Montana, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota, and again Montana, where I graduated from high school.
No, parents were not military. They dreamed boldly, convinced opportunity lay on the other side side of the next mountain. Their final business venture in Missoula, Mt let them retire in a home on Flathead Lake.
In 1978, my former husband & I started a small business in Kalispell, MT. It thrives. In 2024 I sold it to key employees. In the "When it comes to kids, you can never win department", my children complain, "You got to attend over a dozen schools. We stayed in one town our whole lives. How could you be so mean?"
Writing: It's a compulsion, like drugs, only cheaper & with fewer side effects. Preferred genre: Like my childhood, all over the place.
