My home is in Hanover, PA with my husband and a cat named Samantha. We have a son and a daughter who are both attending university.

My 25 year career as a flight attendant/Customer Service Director provided me the opportunity to travel all over the world. I am presently a teaching assistant for chemistry and biology at the local high school.

I loved making up bedtime stories for my children. Quite often they would have me repeat a story that was told to them earlier. It wasn't until a few years ago that I decided to put them to paper. This would be the first book to be published.

Being creative gives me the opportunity to be different and for some reason (a psychiatrist would have a ball with this) it is important to me. From designing and making clothing, stained glass, quilting, writing, or home decorating, it all fascinates me.

AND, by the way, there is nothing wrong with mud.
