Since 1985 I have been writing poetry, skits, scripts, roadshows, newsletters, speeches, new lyrics to popular tunes for talent shows and plays and my draft of a screenplay. Writing has been a wonderful creative outlet for me. It started in high school when a biography I was required to write of a classmate received special attention. I believe also that my paternal grandmother had an affect on my writing journey. Since my childhood, I sat at her knee or cuddled up in her bed with my other siblings as she quoted her numerous poems from memory. I loved her style and humor and I have tried to mimic it to this day.I live in Southern Utah USA where my constant mountainous views include Zion National Park. I am the widow of Ken, mother of three and the grandmother of eight.
