I'm a mother and grandmother who has been interested in writing since kindergarten. I spent a few years as a newspaper and radio journalist, but my real interest is in writing that will speak to people, primarily poetry and fiction. I am a Christian, and this is reflected in much of my work.
I'm also an animal lover, and have had a range of pet species over the years; my profile picture is of two my current ones, a pair of cockatiels named Ellie and Emmett.
My other hobbies include needlework, primarily crochet, embroidery and needlepoint; reading; music (both listening to it and playing it -- I'm very eclectic in the genres I enjoy); houseplants; bicycling; hiking; and collecting. I also enjoy baking, but have cut back on that during recent years.
I'm eager to 'meet' many other writers here at Sixfold and to read some of your work.
