2014 Volcom Pipe Pro, North Shore, Oahu
I have lived in various states in the South and Midwest and have worked at more jobs (paid and unpaid) than I can count, including veterinarian, childbirth educator, medical/technical writer, corporate communications writer, freelance copyeditor, camp counselor, CASA (court-appointed special advocate for abused/neglected children), church administrative council leader, community theater diva, birthparent mentor, hospital volunteer, mother of three, wife, laundress, housekeeper (although I stink at that one), pet collector, coordinator of child sponsorship for a mission in Kenya, choir member (I was pretty marginal at that, too), and last but not least--I once spent an entire summer cleaning toilets at a ranch in New Mexico. I am also pretty much obsessed with professional surfing (See above. This is bliss. Really.Who is my fave on the WSL CT this year, you ask? Keanu Asing, of course. Go, Keanu!)
When I'm not doing the above, I write novels and plays. And I really hope that you enjoy them!

This is my writing space, which I like to call "The Polynesian Room." Yes, I know it's not authentic Polynesian, but total "Gilligan's Island" kitch. But hey, whatever inspires, right? I love my tikis and my hibiscus-colored walls and that's just the way it is! (At least the plants on my desk are real. And they haven't died yet. <knock on wood>) I also keep a bird book and binoculars close at hand. Five species of woodpeckers so far and counting! Oh, and I manage to get some real writing work done here too. Sometimes...
