A Little about Myself

I have a Master's Degree in English Literature from the University of Northern Iowa (1994) and have continued classes at the Writer's Workshop in Iowa City. Several of my short stories and poetry have been published. My husband and I live in Cedar Falls, Iowa with the youngest three of our eight children.

Finally, I have time to devote to writing, which I love most of all (except the aforementioned husband and children.)
