About me

Occupation Writer
Introduction I've been a writer ever since I could read. Born and raised in Ohio, I'm the great-granddaughter of family farmers, the granddaughter of two Protestant ministers, and the daughter of the superintendent of public schools in the town where I grew up. I've had a varied career, including a time at the Microsoft Corporation, where I was employed as a master writer. I now live in the Olympic Peninsula with my husband, David. My books include Stumbling Toward God, Sacred Attention, and Haiku – The Sacred Art, as well as numerous user guides and other technical pieces written for software companies over the years. My short work has appeared in such publications as Alive Now, Frogpond, The Heron's Nest, bottle rockets, Englewood Review of Books, and Modern Haiku. I'm a licensed lay preacher and worship leader in the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia. My liturgical prayers and skits have been used by faith communities across the United States, and can be found at my website, InTheCourtyard.com.
