About
I’m a lover of quotes. Here are a few that have altered my path. Maybe they’ll change yours as well.
“I want to be thoroughly used up when I die.”
– George Bernard Shaw
“Anything I’ve ever done that ultimately was worthwhile … initially scared me to death.”
– Betty Bender
“Much prayer, much power. Little prayer, little power. No prayer, no power.”
– Unknown missionary
If you’ve guessed from these quotes that I always needs a new mountain to climb, you’re right.
I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area of southwestern Pennsylvania, but have also lived in Switzerland and California and other places too. In fact, I’ve moved more than a dozen times (so far). Can’t even begin to count the number of churches I’ve attended!
After 30 years as a job search expert, executive coach, human resources consultant, newspaper columnist, and public speaker, I gladly traded in my high heels and leather briefcase to achieve my dream of being a women’s fiction author.
I’m happily married but have been divorced too. My wonderful daughter is married to a very good man, and they’ve blessed me with two amazing grandsons. I have a dog, a black-and-white Cocker Spaniel. Ceramic. Sits on my bookshelf, never barks, always smiles. He’s so encouraging.
Most readers say they like to travel, and I hope through my writing, you’ll enjoy vicarious travels of all kinds.
