Tattoo—-Journeys on My Mind is her first book. Call it a midlife crisis, but she always meant to write a book just like she always meant to practice a musical instrument. Halfway there, she hopes you like the book. She comes from a working class family in a New England mill town. She was gifted with parents generous in their moral support. She is a former labor union president. She is the winner of many public speaking contests. She has a Girl Scout sash full of badges. She received good grades but is no scholarly wonder. She is no athlete but has successfully hiked, biked, paddled and climbed all over the world. Characters of Huffinfield, her second book and Pandemic project, is a mystery novel about the evil lurking below the placid exterior of a small town. She hopes you enjoy reading it as much as she enjoyed writing it.
