I have written poetry since I was a pre-teen, and have been a freelance writer and book author since 1981 when my first article was accepted for publication in a national magazine. My books have since been reviewed in over 200 publications, including magazines, newspapers, newsletters and online, and sold worldwide. I have written books on the fiber arts, gardening, crafts and cooking, a series of non-fiction educational early readers for children and two popular online classes. In 2005 I turned my attention to my artwork and writing personal essays and poetry.
