I'm an author, freelance writer and speaker from Idaho. I recently retired from directing a writer's conference I founded, but continue to be involved in the writing and publishing world. I love to speak to women's groups, book clubs, writer's groups, and at writer's conferences. My love for history and old stuff keeps me busy researching for my novels and feeds my hobby of giving new life to tired vintage items.
