For many years, I supported myself as a systems analyst, but now I’ve focused myself as a dedicated dilettante of art.
I bake seriously and garden. Reading is my passion. I read fantasy (and any other written material put near me) and have walls of books in my house.
Not so long ago, my life centered around Morris and short sword dancing. I started writing around the time I ended my fifty bell dancing habit.
During the last fifteen years, I have belonged to SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and have been active within the group.
My golden retriever and my husband keep me active, hiking and roaming the hills.

Genevieve accepts her fate. She must, in order to save her kingdom. But the journey to her final destiny is complicated by the arrival of Chris, a 1970s Berkeley co-ed. To Chris, the whole scenario reeks of deception. Where she comes from, corsets are for burning and virgins are hard to find. She's sure the dragons are out for more than innocent blood, but the only way to find out what they really want is to accompany Genevieve on her journey. Not what she had planned for her freshman year of college. Genevieve is duty-bound–unless Chris is right. Then her sacrifice would mean nothing. Other than woe to those who duped her...
