I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, lover, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, colleague, endurance walker, filmmaker, singer, story-teller, priestess, poet, witch, baker, apple butter maker, and washer of sheets.

I was born in Hawaii, lived in England as a small child, but grew up in Oklahoma, in a town not far from land that was settled by my great-grandfather in the Land Run of 1889. As an adult I've lived in California and New York.

Portland, Oregon is now my home, and I live here with my husband of almost 22 years and my eight-year old neurotic dog, Elvis.

Thanks for taking time to read my work.
