I’m a former humor columnist and writing tutor who now writes short essays about family, aging, marriage, and the everyday chaos that somehow becomes material. I’ve been married to my second husband for 41 years, a Godsend of a man who never looks at what I've written about him. Between us, we have a blended family of six kids, eighteen grandchildren, two great-grands, and close to one hundred grand-dogs, cats, and rabbits. I've collected enough stories to fill several books I haven’t written yet.

My work leans warm, snarky, and true. If you like humor with heart, the kind that comes from real life rather than punchlines --you’re in the right place.
