My love of writing comes from a life on the move. I was born in Oklahoma, but early on my family took up a life of hops and stops across the country. My peripatetic life continued as I followed my military husband across country and back, finally to settle in New Mexico. If anything, I'm an adaptable, curious product of my unsettled life. My writing reflects that. 

​

I’ve covered everything from politics, to water law and medicine. I've written books about ghost towns and libraries, and I've written chapters in books about women and about New Mexico history. Now, after decades of a settled life in Southern New Mexico, I've up and moved to Albuquerque. There is still much I want to discover, and so much more writing to do.
