about mE
I write fiction, articles, book reviews and obscurely funny essays. I am especially enthusiastic about
The Funny Times magazine, whose editors seem to 'get' my quirky sense of humor.
I was born in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and grew up in San Jose, California and Ann Arbor, Michigan.
My parents did the best they could, but often I wondered what it would be like to be raised by Remus and Romulus--but hey, who doesn't. My three sisters and I scattered around the country and built houses out of sticks and stones, not unlike the three little pigs, but without the straw. When you live in Tennessee as I do now, it is especially important to keep one's sense of humor.
​
I've had plenty of jobs ranging from babysitter of squirmy children to teacher of squirmy children to parent of
squirmy children. I've been a waitress, book shelver, mural painter, snake handler, and youth
museum founder. I started and ran the Discovery Center in Murfreesboro, Ternnessee, serving as CEO for 25 years,. Many of my jobs involved showing up and doing what I was told, but as CEO I was
forever telling other people what to do and feeling conflicted about it.
​
Turns out I am better suited to writing about whatever thoughts creep into my head.
