Bio/Writing History
I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband Jerry and our two teen-aged kids.
I grew up in Las Vegas and left there at the tender age of 21 for the bright lights of Hong Kong. I worked with a Christian humanitarian agency among Vietnamese refugees and then later was employed by Asia Television (ATV) in the news department.
After my return to the U.S. in the mid nineties I turned my attention towards home and began a family.
Since having children I have worked at a variety of interesting jobs to help support our household including gift shop cashier, cookware sales associate, grocery clerk, census taker, daycare provider and paid focus group participant. Eventually I began a small cleaning service which I still operate. It is nice to be self-employed!
When I turned 40 I finally figured out what I'd like to do now that I was all grown up - write!
Here's a rundown of my writing development since 2004:
- I have been a contributing writer for Off the Map since 2005.
