I grew up in a 'newspaper' family in a small Colorado town. Whether that influenced me or not, I was a late bloomer to writing. My novel, New Beginnings is the result of a fascination with Scotland and subsequent visits to that wonderful country. The encouragment I receive from family and friends keep me keeping on with writing.  Willow Creek Winter, although out of print, is now a screenplay waiting for a producer or film company to go wild over it. All sorts of wicked things happen in the frozen mountains of Colorado during a long winter.
