Biography
I was born on an Air Force base and I’ve been in flight ever since. My father took
the family with him wherever he was stationed; Spain, Morocco, Turkey, and Alaska were
among his postings. While studying commercial arts, I married a musician who turned out to
be a pilot in disguise. Having no burning ambition of my own at the time, I devoted myself
to his dream. His job as aircraft designer and competition pilot has taken us all over the
world. I have now set foot on almost every continent (a personal life ambition), but I don’t
hold out much hope for Antarctica anymore.
I have always loved to read. Since I was four, reading has been my favorite diversion
and books my best friends. A few years ago, with my husband’s support, I set out to
become a writer. I wrote every day and posted what I wrote at various Internet groups and
later on livejournal. I cannot recommend this school of writing highly enough. The candid
feedback I received was invaluable to my development. I kept working at it, and one day I
received the most exciting e-mail ever. A publisher wanted to talk to me.
That’s pretty much it so far. There are a few fun facts like: my only child is a
rescued Greyhound named Lizard, I live at a small grass airfield with a hang gliding
school, I have what’s commonly referred to as a “photographic memory”, I
collect words as a hobby, and my only nickname is “The Judge”.
Pleased to meet you.
