I was born in sultry South Carolina, raised in sunny Southern California, living the good life in Surf City--Huntington Beach--until my southern roots beckoned me to return. My husband and I have lived in Sweden, traveled through Russia, Siberia, the Baltics, Israel, Scandinavia, England, Greece, and sailed the seven seas on the World War II ship MS Restoration, to transport Russian Jews from the Black Sea to Israel. I spend most of my time writing or out by the pond with Rob, my husband of twenty-five years, and our malte-poo, Popcorn. It's fun to re-invent yourself--try it!! What will I be next? Hopefully, an almost-famous author with a novel that will encourage readers to lose sight of their safe shore and dive into a new ocean. I wish you smooth sailing and oceans of blessings.
