"There is nothing either good
or bad but thinking makes it so"

I was born in London and spent the first half of my life there.
My father was English but my mother was American. She arrived
in England during World War II having traveled in convoy on
a troop ship. She was a Red Cross Nurse. This mixed heritage
imbued me with a strong connection to both countries. I first
visited America in 1972. I traveled, worked and lived in various
parts of the country arriving in San Francisco, where I stayed
for three years before moving to New York. I lived in Manhattan
for six years working for the WNET/Channel 13, the PBS station,
for Great Performances.
I love to travel and so following my time at
WNET I took on a project as Media Director for the Jian Guo
Hotel in Peking, China. This took me to Peking a number of
times and also afforded me the opportunity to live and work
in Hong Kong, one of my favorite cities.
I now live in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, with
my husband who teaches theater at Roger Williams University,
and my two pre- and teenage daughters, both of whom are excellent
writers. My grandfather and my father were both writers specializing
in the press and public relations so, as you can see, it runs
in the family.
My loves - apart from my family - are
my Golden Retriever Toby, my two cats Holmes and Watson, gardening,
gardening, gardening, kayaking, roller-blading, hiking, bicycling,
reading, movies, cooking, and spending time with friends in
small gatherings.
