Snapshot
A walk in the great outdoors? I’m in. A donkey will carry the sleeping bags? Can we bring the donkey’s brother so there’s a pair? A rumbling bus ride through mountainous villages? I’m on board. Add some chickens in a crate tucked in between suitcases on the luggage rack, a seatmate reeking of garlic and missing a front tooth, and I’ve got a story by sundown. I write about real life. It’s all outside the window (or in the bus terminal or my own backyard) waiting to be written down.

Current Book Project

I'm seeking agent representation for my memoir about what we gained by helping others and what that cost our family, told against the backdrop of the United States Agency for International Development. My husband and I raised our two boys in the U.S., Serbia, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia, traveling with U.S.A.I.D. for seventeen years.
I have a story to tell.
