One of my earliest memories was in a tree above a cranberry bog on the twenty
acres surrounding my parents' rented house, throwing balled up wonder dough to
my dog, Pudgy. I always believed that when I grew up he would turn into a
prince and we would marry, but that was only the first of many times my imagination
betrayed me. He was killed by a car when I was thirteen and almost immediately my
hormones kicked in and I turned to my own species for comfort.
Growing up in what eventually became the suburbs east of Seattle, I worked my way
through the public school system, and then the University of Washington, until I
had a bachelors degree in anthropology. I immediately headed north to Alaska and
spent many years on Kodiak Island in the town of the same name.
Returning to the Pacific Northwest, I was raised by my beautiful, intelligent and
talented daughter. I left teaching in the public schools as soon as my daughter
graduated from high school. Then I began studying audio engineering and midi
production at Shoreline Community College. After a year and a half my money ran out,
so I started working for a large, internet retailer right in the heart of downtown
Seattle. When the pace became too hectic, I packed my bags and headed for the Midwest.
I now call Indiana home and spend my time writing, playing music, hanging out with
friends and working at an arts non-profit.
