My interests could fill an encyclopedia, but the main ones that have stuck, so far, include spirituality, family, doll and bear making, reading and writing, my dogs and genealogy. Movies and theater are my grand passion.

A true writer at heart, I have worked in many fields, including diesel mechanics, child daycare, a dog and cat boarding kennel, and a major Los Angeles hotel. I'll take the trucks, any day -- less back talk, less fragrant and less moody!
