Welcome to my web site! There is a sign on my office wall that reads - “ May your days be merry and bright.”  It is a fitting sign for a woman who writes about Christmas a great deal of the time but it could also be said to be indicative of my feelings about writing. Whether I am writing for children or adults; for the church or for the stage I am always reminded of the great gift of writing. It is cheap therapy for the writer and, if done well, a cheap, happy vacation for the reader. The best part is that you do not have to be published or publishable. The rewards of writing are the same. Writing is a hopeful thing.

    One of my favorite writers-E.B. White- said it best-        

    “Only hope can carry us aloft, can keep us afloat. Only hope, and a certain faith that the incredible structure that has been fashioned by this most strange and ingenious of all mammals cannot end in ruin and disaster. This faith is a writer’s faith, for writing itself is an act of faith, nothing else. And it must be the writer, above all others, who keeps it alive-choked with laughter or with pain.”
