Where I Honed My Craft(s): Via my two published books: Slip Soul, TouchPoint Press, 2021 and Functional Families, Unsolicited Press, 2021.

What I LOVE: Making art with words. Fun with family. Reading. Travel. Cooking. Music. Southwest U.S. and Latin American history. Genealogical, anthropological, and archeological research.

Fun Facts: Was a LEGO maniac as a kid and still am as an adult.  Cycled Highway 1 on the California coast from San Francisco to San Diego nine times for hemophilia awareness. Misses going to the opera and is looking forward to getting back once all this nonsense is better contained.
