I was a native Californian, born in Riverside in 1963 and raised in San Diego starting from the age of 7. I met my husband, David on New Year’s Eve in 1997, marrying him a few short months later on March of 1998. We began our life together in Encinitas, C.A., until moving our blended family to Herald, CA, just outside of Sacramento in 2001, were we raised our family on a five and half acre ranch. I enjoyed raising bees, goats and children but in 2017 my husband and I decided to both retire and have ourselves a great adventure. I mean, what the heck? Our children were mostly raised so we took a leap of faith. In February of 2018, we sold the farm, packed up our possessions and moved to Kalispell, Montana. We haven’t regretted our decision for one moment. I began writing at the tender age of 50, and now I write when the spirit moves me and have wonderful adventures every single day with my husband and best friend, Dave, and our incredible grandchildren.
