Native of a small town in Pennsylvania, where the deer outnumber the residents. Studied writing at Carnegie Mellon University. Live in beautiful Pittsburgh. Wanted to be an archeologist when I was a little girl, then a writer. Worked in nonprofit for over 10 years, started charity, Pittsburgh Singles Volunteer Network, that connected singles to volunteering opportunities throughout Pittsburgh.
Left nonprofit in 2007 and now own and manage two rental properties, because they don't talk back like people.
Favorite spot on the planet: Miami Beach in Barbados. I plan to retire there, sitting on the beach every day, sipping Mt. Gay extra old rum.
