I have enjoyed and dreamed of writing since I was a little girl. After 50 years of working toward that goal, I have finally done it! I live in the small town of Peru, IN. It is home of the best amateur circus in the world, where I performed for ten years, last as a flyer in flying trapeze. I was raised by a single mom. I lost my only brother to cancer eight years ago. Jeff was one of my biggest cheerleaders in my quest to become a published author. I am married, have four daughters and one son, have six grandsons, and three granddaughters. I have been involved in our community theater for 25 years, have acted in 16 productions, and directed 20. I have set a new goal of writing a play. I worked for ten years on our local radio station as a news director. I wrote news stories and wrote and recorded ad copy. In 2016 I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis that forced me to go on disability from my 15-year position as a manager for a major grocery chain. In my early retirement, I've enjoyed putting more focus on my writing.
