Seawriter

My Blog Circle:

I live in Seattle and am the mother of two daughters, one an attorney, the other in the film industry. My background includes serving as a gallery educator (docent) at the Seattle Art Museum for eleven years. I am a member of MENSA.

On my computer is a children's fairy fantasy called The Wish Rocks by the River of Time in final edits. All the characters' names and personalities in this book derive from plants and minerals.

Jewelry design is my passion and favorite hobby. I also enjoy nature photography.

Please remember that I am a fiction writer. If I ever write posts about people, I have invented them in order to make my point.
