Author bio

Growing up in a small town in Washington State, my hero was Pippy Longstockings. I was enchanted with adventures, having them and reading about this. From an early age I wanted to be a writer, but didn't feel I had the skills. Now, as I approach my 60th year on this wonderful earth, I realize that I am a writer. Maybe a good one.

It just wouldn't be neighborly of me to not share a good recipe now and then.
