I am writer of fiction, for readers of all shoe sizes, a family woman, a culinary explorer, an embracer of reason and many f-words (freethought, feminism, fa-la-la-la-la) and a smiter of supernaturalism, and an unrepentant cynical optimist. Unofficial motto: I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan…I never do, but I can. When not working on innumerable fiction projects I consider obtaining professional help to enable me to compose a more pretentious biography.
