edit data

I was born in Minneapolis, MN. Later, I had the opportunity to live in Ohio, Iowa, and Maryland. Moving around and traveling has helped me understand people from different parts of the country.

I received a degree in education from St. Cloud State University, a two year business marketing degree from Anoka Ramsey Community College, and a certificate from the Institute of Children's Literature.

I'm proud to be a local and national member of Sisters in Crime, an organization started by Sue Grafton in the 1980's

Topic 40 Writer Prompts

Greetings,

It's been awhile since I signed off of this blog, but last night I decided to try posting whenever I have a chance. A year ago last fall I joined a new writers group that meets once a week in the town we moved to. It's the fourth one I've belonged to since I started to write in 1995. Since I joined this group of writers, ranging in age from 95 to 52, we've gained three new members. B Read more of this blog post »
