She published her first short story "On Glennie’s Wedding Day" at age sixty-three and explores through her fiction the challenges of aging for women of her generation who were profoundly changed by the women’s liberation movement. She has contributed several articles on boating to Ensign, the national magazine of the US Power Squadrons. Her history, Little Holocaust Survivors: and the English School that Saved Them, is the story of the Stoatley Rough School for German-speaking refugee children that was established in Surrey, England, in 1934. Having been regaled with stories night after night aboard a cruise ship in which her husband and his other 70-year-old friends recalled their flight from Hitler, rescue and coming of age, she knew it was imperative for her to write their amazing story.
She is a hospice volunteer, supports animal rights causes, and is currently working on a novel.
