lives on five acres on an island in the Puget Sound. Her cabin’s picture window overlooks a valley scattered with farms and livestock. On clear days she and her new husband are gifted with a sighting of Mt Rainier hanging low on the horizon like a Japanese painting. She grew up with her father’s easel dominating the living room and family vacations were opportunities to watercolor. Writing has become her outlet in the last few years. Her imagination has been unleashed. Her latest creative endeavor is a detective novel full of off-beat characters.
