A Coloradan who hates the winter and has a passion for long lingering summers which is one of the reasons I fell in love with the Southernmost Island at the tip of Florida after my ex took me there in February 2006. After a magic-filled long weekend, I found my heart's home and I return there every chance I get
(within the confines of city workers wages). Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma
(where the wind comes sweeping down the plain!!), I was fortunate to have been transplanted to Denver in the waning hours of the 70s just in time to experience 80s rock-n-roll and the birth of the music video. A music major in college, I spent most of my early adulthood performing and raising
3 kids, adopting 1 and fostering several others
(at one point there were 6, yes 6!, kids in the house). During this time I was also busy writing but didn't commit myself to it until I cleared out the cobwebs of a broken marriage
(and life) and headed out to explore.
By day I am cleverly disguised as a Lead Clerk for the
Denver Public Library when I am really a bibliophile and writer of fantastical tales that some might try to classify as sci-fi or surrealism
(but in reality is neither). I am an avid reader, an amateur photographer who loves showing off the beauty I find all around me. I am currently wending my way through the highs and lows of life in Colorado, writing when I can, on the board of the Aurora Public Library and attempting to sell Pampered Chef (new venture, I hope it works out). I love the water
(another thing to love about an island- lots of warm water!) and have a passion for
politics.
