About me

Introduction	I am a high school English teacher who also coaches hoops and xc, and I have always liked to write. In the dead of our New England winter I searched longingly for a writing experience in Europe, and I found the ARVON course with its cozy pictures of Moniack Mhor in Inverness-shire beckoning to me from my computer screen. I also spent March engaged in a flurry of genealogy research to find long lost relatives online AND that I am heavily Scottish on THREE sides. Most interestingly, I tracked my maiden name and paternal ancestors to Dublin in the 1730's. In a strange way, I feel strongly that the universe wants me writing from my roots.
