My first novel, Dakota Blues, is about midlife reinvention.
Newly single and unemployed, middle-aged Karen Grace agrees to take a 90-year-old neighbor on one last RV trip across the Midwest. While on the road they meet a memorable collection of women travelers and face a decision that changes both their lives.
I wrote Dakota Blues because this is one of my obsessions: the fear of realizing at the end of your life that you’ve wasted it. I think it’s a fascinating theme and I hope to write about it for the rest of my life.
I’m interested in the issues relating to women and aging. I also enjoy anything relating to technology, writing and authors, changes in the publishing world, golf, history, biography, fitness, spirituality…life.
I’ve written some other things:
Technology for Mummies in More.com.
Letter to My Future Self: Chill in More.com.
Social Networking: How Much is Too Much? in More.com.
On Mindfulness and a Week in Indiana in StraitJacketsMagazine.
Fired Up from my biweekly column in Riverside Business Journal.
I’ve been a Human Resources Consortium Manager for the law firm of Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo in Cerritos, California; the Director of Human Resources for Jurupa Unified School District in Riverside, California; and I spent ten years before that climbing the HR and accounting ladder at the Riverside County Office of Education. In order to do that, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Management from the University of Redlands. I’m currently a board member of the National League of American Pen Women, Palm Springs Branch, and a member of the Palm Springs Writers’ Guild.
