I've been writing
since I was old enough to know which end of the pencil made the words appear.
When I was 15, I won first place in an essay contest.
At 17, I shared
second place for news writing in the University of Tucson's Journalism Day
contest.
Later that year I made my first sale, a poem titled "Equivocations."
The magazine folded before the poem was published, but the $5.00 check cleared!
My
nonfiction work has appeared in a number of publications,
including Phoenix Magazine, American Girl, Scouting
Magazine, The Pet Dealer, The Arizona
Horseman, Outdoor Arizona, and Novel Writer Magazine.
My
interest in genealogy resulted in publication in Lifelines,
the Journal of the Northern New York American-Canadian
Genealogical Society.
My poem
"Baby" was published in Adirondack Journal.
