Location	Riverdale, NJ, United States
Introduction	I'm happiest when I'm surrounded by my family. I'm never without a book and even listen to audio books instead of the radio in the car. I long to write the great American novel and have actually been working toward that since the late 70s. I took that desire and created a career for myself in the publishing industry where I've held a variety of positions, from copy editor to managing editor of several publications. I loved newspaper reporting, especially articles about people. I've lived in Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia, Florida, and now New Jersey. I have three children and four grandchildren. Along with my husband, they are my treasures. I keep trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up, and so far I've decided not to grow up.

When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?

No, I worry I'll have burning eyes!
