I was born in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the
little town of Newberry, home of the state mental
hospital. Born with a purse and lipstick in one hand
and pen in the other I was also born with a very
vivid imagination and the need to write. I moved to
Florida with my family in 1959 and consider myself a
Southerner, reveling in all the quirks, Bubbas, bar-b-
ques, and seafood of Southern life. I travel
extensively talking to anyone who has the
misfortune of finding themselves seated, walking or
otherwise beside me. In the second grade, I wrote
my first official story using the spelling words for
the week. The story revolved around mice that lived
in the walls of my home, drank too much, and
partied into the night. Though counseling was
suggested, I avoided that path and instead chose to
continue writing.
I consume books rather than read them. I love to
read anything by Jill Connor Brown – The Sweet
Potato Queen, Robert Fulghum, Celia Rivenbark, any
female humor writer, Susan Elizabeth Phillips and
even Kathleen Woodiwiss.
In 1992 I was diagnosed with lupus, a life-long
chronic illness. At the time I was working as a
Network Engineer. In 2002 my illness forced me to
leave that profession and redirect my life. In 2003 I
became the Executive Director of The Lupus Support
Network and now travel educating others about
lupus. Instead of giving up and focusing on the
tragedy of the illness, I began seeing the humor in
life and now write about what I see and share it
with others. My two sons and two grandsons are the
joys of my life. I am currently working on three
different books of short humorous pieces about life,
especially mine. ‘I do some of the craziest things by
accident and freely confess them in my writing.’ Life
is the most interesting topic for any story. I find
humor everywhere I go. I enjoy life, learning and
sharing my stories and adventures with others.
