About me

Gender Female
Occupation Homemaker/Writer
Location Portland, Oregon, United States
Introduction I'm a StandUp Parenting fan. I've become a serious fiction writer. Four days a week you'll find me working on rewriting one of my many novels or working on a new one. I'm a mom of four adult children - two sets of siblings - one bio and one adopted. I am now a grandmother of five kids, 6 and under. My husband and I have been married for 34 years! I've been a foster mom. I'm involved with my church. Five years ago I made a big life change, moving from outreach to kids through camps and into working with moms in crisis with their kids of all ages. Over the years I've dealt with the police, psych and residential units, the foster care system and juvenile and adult court system. Oh yah, schools, special ed., psychologists, psychiatrists ...been there, done that...and survived!
Interests NaNoWriMo, Club 100
Favorite Movies Conspiracy Theory, Gross Point Blank, Return to Me, Buckaroo Banzai, Napoleon Dynamite...
Favorite Music All kinds. I go on music/album jags - listen to the same stuff over and over. I just discovered Pink Martini. Am revisiting my Come to the Worship Circle CDs - funky, hand drumming for me to play with.
Favorite Books Love to read and read and read - all kinds - fiction/non-fiction.

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?

Yes, that is a fish - in fact it's a salmon. I live in Portland, trust me!
