I am so much more than a bunch of words on a screen could ever describe. Born in Chicago. Moved to Christchurch to be with my husband of 29 years, Noel. Work in tertiary education, sword and shield at the ready to defend the school against bureaucrats and nay-sayers. Visited places many dream of going. Survived a few bad earthquakes. Try to be a good writer. 2021 graduate of Hagley Writers’ Institute. 2022 recipient of a New Zealand Society of Authors Mentorship to develop my novel Plague.
