Biography
Born in Virginia (near D.C.), grew up on a barrier island in South Jersey, moved to the Midwest in the mid-80s. I've got an exemplary husband, a terrific son (just graduated from college), a nice little house, and three cats. I have extended family scattered about the country, mostly on the east coast.
