I grew up in Ethiopia, East Africa as the daughter of missionaries. Africa still has a great influence on my life. Check out my article on Ethiopian Food. I now live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and two teenagers. When not writing or working with my school board, I love to cook gourmet meals, take long candle-lit baths, read a good book, or study history.

My greatest achievement has been being the mother of my two children, Leah and Kent. I find joy, laughter, tears and deep love with them. My family is my rock, my steadying influence in this crazy writing world I live in. Thanks kids.

My second greatest accomplishment is having my book published. I have achieved my dream. My story, If I Perish has been turned into a novel, which came out in September 2002.

Writing is such an exciting journey. I have had several articles published in various publications, including one in Northwest Family Magazine on Ethiopian Food. The lastest is called "Talk to Me" and is on FaithLinks.org.

My book, If I Perish, has just come out in print. It can be purchased from Publish America, Barnes and Noble.com or Amazon.com NEW I have added a review for my book from Scribe's World. Also added a new article.
