About Me

January 2024. In a few weeks I'll be traveling to Germany to visit my cousin and her husband. From there I'll travel to their son, my nephew, and his family in Switzerland. I'm starting my travel from California, where I'm visiting my youngest, the only one of us who still resides in the golden state.

During COVID-19 and after, I directed a virtual discussion group where we talked about books we  read and how reading these books has affected our lives. In May 2022, I added an "I Read Banned Books" segment. Now I'm working to get one of my manuscripts to a literary agent to help me get published.

I was born in Germany and have lived in this country for most of my adult life. In California I married, began my American working life in my husband's law office, and raised our children. As I grew familiar with my surroundings, so did my desire to write--and make music as I did in my youth, see Music Gallery.

In Wyoming I have written opinion columns on culture and society for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and the Casper Star-Tribune. Currently I write for the online Cheyenne Post, see the "Columns" page. I also write creatively and publish in literary magazines. 

The Wyoming winters are harsh; hence, I spend time in Texas with my firstborn and his family (who used to reside in Wyoming) and in California, where my youngest and his family still live. (See photos in News Log and Picture Gallery.) My middle son and spouse live in the frozen north (South Dakota); they don't get winter visits. Their two adult sons live on their own.
