| Introduction | I live, write, and work in a sweet town perched on the edge of Puget Sound. My work has been published in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and children's literature. I love sharing my passion for words and community with folks of all ages, from elementary school students to adults, and have been privileged to do just that for many years as a teacher, journalist, spiritual writer, and friend. Pots of tea abound. |
| Interests | Getting lost, finding my way again, tea as a balm for whatever ails, reading when the offspring is a'bed, hot showers, stones rendered smooth by the Sound, seals, everything British, especially digestives, BBC, and tea, my husband and his poetry, my community far and wide, aspen leaves in the breeze, rain, zinnias, remembering my childhood overseas (Bangladesh and Kenya), drinking TEA for breakfast and elevenses and tea time and supper and drinking tea again as my nightcap, flowers on a table, tasting a poem for the first time |
| Favorite movies | Room with a View, Enchanted April, Pride and Prejudice, Gods Must Be Crazy, Meet the Parents, everything Agatha Christie, any good British murder |
| Favorite music | Bach, Kings of Convenience, Blind Pilot, Pernice Brothers, etc., etc. |
| Favorite books | A Wrinkle in Time, To Kill a Mockingbird, Flame Trees of Thika, Their Eyes Were Watching God, all the Botswana Ladies Detective Agency books, etc., etc., how can one write them all |
Try making up the rules to a game where you tie knots in a yo-yo string just to see if you can get them out:
Sounds like the games my daughter, Merry, loved to play. She was an obsessive knot-tier at three. But she was not concerned about untying them. She tied knots in everything--her p.j.s, melon rinds, blanket ends. It drove us batty.
