About Me

"I give thanks for my many blessings. Just for today I will not anger. Just for today I will not worry. I will do my work honestly. I will be kind to people and every living thing." ~Reiki Intention
"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold,service was joy." ~Rabindranath Tagore
"Never frown, even when you're sad; you never know who is falling in love with your smile."
Well, let's see....I'm a Public Library Director, Writer and Paranormal Investigator. I'm the wife of one and mother of two. I have 2 novels published; ROSE'S KISS, and THE COMPASS ROSE, both historical fictions set in 14th century Europe. I have 4 poetry collections published to date; both in the U.S. and the U.K. There are other stories simmering on the back burner. I've also recently started studying Reiki in all my "spare time".
I live in the countryside of Indiana with my family, in a charming, old farm house built around 1850, that we are constantly working on. We share the farm with 2 golden retrievers and an insanely old cat with one good eye, and 20 chickens.
