Thank you for visiting my website.  Here you’ll have the opportunity to explore my world:  writer, photographer, naturalist and also grandmother!  I’ll share everything from how I get my ideas to tips on research to the ins and outs of revision.  You’ll see photos for magazine articles or those that  serve as a source of inspiration.  Living in the desert with its cacti, critters, and crazy monsoon weather is filled with adventures that I hope you’ll enjoy.  Finally, there will be practical ways to raise a reader perhaps your own child, student, or grandchild.  Come often to learn and laugh!
