Welcome

This is my online home for all things writing.

First, a bit about me. I am a retired social worker turned writer, and the co-owner of Five Feline Farm. I love to cook, bake, and read. 

At my core, I am passionate about building new things from random parts. That may sound odd, but let me explain.

In the kitchen, I use raw ingredients to create a meal. Nothing excites me more than using fresh-from-the-garden ingredients to make a beautiful meal or to invent a new dish from leftover bits from previous meals.

On the farm, I fabricate functional new things from scraps of wood and hardware salvaged from other projects. For example, much of the wall covering in one of our outbuildings is from cedar boards that previously served as garden plot edges.

When I write, I use words, concepts, and emotions to compose stories for entertainment and education.

As a beautiful quilt comes together from fragments of fabric, I am constructing a tapestry of life. I hope to inspire you to invent your own.

Let’s do this.
