Bio
I am a former Army Brat who lived all over the world before settling in Gloucester, Virginia. Moving constantly can be a lonely life for a child, but I soon realized I could find friends and adventure at the Post Library. An avid reader from an early age, I decided I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. After retiring, I finally had the time to pursue that dream.
While working for two local museums, I produced several versions of the guidebooks, as well as creating a series of children's photo story books. One of which I wrote as well.
