Well met!
(in other words, hi)
Thank you for your interest in my little story. hese pics are from my recent trip to England. Seemed appropriate to share here, though I did not get to Nottingham. Someday!

About Me
I’m a Pittsburgh native, wife, and mom of two — plus one bunny and a quarter of an Akita (she technically belongs to my brother-in-law, but is a fully-fledged member of my pack).
You’ll typically find me awake and writing somewhere in the vicinity of 5 a.m. with a mug of strong coffee at my side. When not at my desk — where both my day job and my fun writing tend to keep me — I’m moving. Hiking, running, spin biking, and trampolining (can that be a verb?) with the kids help keep balance and battle the inevitable “writer’s neck,” while my third-degree black belt reminds me that discipline and creativity both take years of practice.
I’m one of those fish-fry loving Pittsburgh Catholics and try my best to keep mind and heart open to allow God’s voice to influence and guide my writing.
Most of my non-work time is happily spent with my kids. Want to keep your imagination muscle strong even as adulthood takes over your brain? Have a few kids.
