After earning an MA in English, I taught high school and community college literature and writing in California, Illinois, Arizona and as a Fulbright Exchange Teacher at Stanground College in Cambridgeshire, England. My book of poetry and photography, The Cyclic Path, was published in 1990. I moved to Sedona, Arizona in 1993, and in 2001, I published Sedona Poems for Sedona’s centennial. My first novel, Choices, was published in 2003. My book of detective short stories, A Cold Killing, was published in 2010. Both are now available on Kindle. My stories and poetry now appear in print and online in the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Australia. For seven years, I have lived in and traveled in a small motorhome throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico.
