I've been a writer all of my life--at least since I wrote a poem for my mom when I was 8! I have a bachelor's degree in Journalism and a master's degree in English Education from the University of Tennessee. I worked in advertising early in my career, but then was a writer and manager for Current, Inc., for over 16 years. Since 1995 I have published five books and have a sixth with a publisher. I've been married to my husband, Jim, since 1988 and we have four married children and 12 grandchildren in our blended family. I love to read and I'm in two book groups that meet regularly. Most of my volunteer time, my writing, and my speaking are now focused on older adults and those who care for them. While leading a Bible study at an assisted living facility, I wrote the lessons in my most recent book, THE HOPE OF GLORY. I also enjoy travel,exercise, grandparenting, and spending time with friends.
