Born to descendants of Oregon Trail pioneers, I have long been fascinated with horses, writing and The American West—old and new. I sold romance stories and Western articles in college. After earning a B.A. In Journalism at University of Washington, I wrote 7,000 stories for The Seattle Times in 32 years, covering hard news as well as the arts and celebrities such as John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn. Along the way I mentored American Indian children, danced and sang at powwows, taught writing at private schools, flew airplanes and competed on a women's shooting team. I also showed Paints and Quarter Horses, winning national and regional honors. I still ride my horse Brad at least five days a week! I also write daily at the hilltop home I share with my husband, three dogs, a cat and a parakeet named Peekaboo in Oregon's fabled Rogue River Valley.
