Telling stories that impact people's lives -- that's what I've been doing for over 30 years. Sometimes they're funny: a little girl owns the beach at Hilton Head in her stars and stripes bathing suit.  Sometimes they're sad: a man rides a National Guard boat to see  only the roof line of his home above floodwaters.  And sometimes they're inspirational: the first woman allowed to fly a combat helicopter finishes her training.

A writer is fortunate when she can write about what inspires her.  I am passionate about boating and the waterways you can explore by boat, about travel, about our environment, about food, about bird dogs and about people, men and women who make their way through this life in their own inimitable way.

On this site you'll find a little more about me, my publishing credits and just a few of the hundreds of stories that make up my body of work.
