| Introduction | I was born in Lebanon, Tennessee and grew up in California . After college in Montana, I migrated south to Tennessee with my new family where I enjoyed careers in broadcasting and cable television management and in healthcare leadership. In 2006, I was fortunate to be able to leave my healthcare financial position to devote full time to my lifelong love of writing. I have completed the first draft of a novel and am deep into the revision process, hopeful of publishing it someday. I have served Lutheran congregations in several areas including lay preaching and organist/music director. For eight years my passion has been leading an early morning spiritual growth group at Christ Lutheran Church in Nashville - We call it the "Tuesday Group." I keep writing music, fiction, non-fiction...and I also enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, my 5-year-old grandson Jameson and his 2 1/2 year-old sister Carly Rose. I play an occasional songwriters’ night in Nashville and enjoy leading women’s retreats and workshops. |
