| Introduction | Books, animals and Christmastime are my passions. I share my home with a toy poodle who is a retired actress, and a cat named Frank Sinatra. After a marble ended my own brief acting career, I worked in local radio and television in Washington, D.C. This led to a position on the production staff of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. I've also been an inn-keeper, court reporter and world traveler. My numerous unforgettable experiences include a camel safari in the Australian outback and swimming with barracuda on the Great Barrier Reef. Whenever possible, I love relaxing on a converted tugboat that started life as a US Army Short Tug built in 1953. I grew up in Maryland, lived in Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Hawaii. For three years, I enjoyed the adventure of living in a 150-year-old house on a 2,000 acre working grain farm in the Maryland countryside. Not bad for a city girl. Since 1989, I've been an independent radio producer on a per-assignment basis. My first book, Leaving for Christmas, will be published by PM Moon publishers in the fall of 2010. |
