More about me

I'm a writer, jumping into a new genre. Until now I've written nonfiction, mostly feature articles. I'm starting a novel, and have no idea who these people are who have begun to inhabit my brain, insisting that their story be told.

I'm a 4th generation Okie who spent most of her adult years in Michigan, but moved back after my husband died. My kids still live in Michigan, and I have a cottage there that I retreat to when the summers get too intensely warm.

I learned to sail on the Great Lakes, and still am an avid racer, even if the biggest lake is the local reservoir.

I've been lucky enough to travel all over the world, and, at the same time, have roots deep in my native soil.

PS For the humor-impaired: The Question Of The Day doesn't have a smiley-face option. If you don't get it, don't worry. We won't be going on any dates anyway.

Lone Wolf Trail

Don Blanding
Before you follow the lone wolf trail
Be sure that this is known...
Are you one of the lone wolf breed
Or only a wolf alone?
For the lone wolf breed is a silent breed,
Making no howl nor moan
But the wolf that bays the moon at night
Is a lonely wolf... alone.
