About Me
I hate writing biographies. There just really isn't that much to say--it's all been pretty close to ordinary. I was born in San Diego and lived there for ten years before my Dad (who was always inclined to pursue an adventure) decided to accept a transfer to Guam. My Mom apparently did not agree, so while Dad went venturing in the south seas, we stayed in California until another transfer came through, this time to Pearl Harbor. So it was off to Hawaii, where I have lived ever since.
I grew up in a rented beach house on the north shore of Oahu, which may sound ideal, but at the time the local high school had one of the lowest academic ratings in the state (most students had English as a second language), and it was all a bit isolating for someone in love with science and reading.
College was a life-saver. I attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, majoring in zoology. The day after graduating I took off to Maui, where my soon-to-be-husband lived and worked.
Maui has been home ever since. Ron and I have raised two kids together. I was lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom for a number of years--a situation that required a very tight budget, but also proved to be my most productive writing years.
From 2000 to 2008 I worked full time as a web programmer, and consequently my fiction writing dwindled to nearly nothing. That job ended with the recession, the kids have since been released (or should I say escaped?) into the wild, and I'm happy to report that I'm back to writing again.
Although I started my career in traditional publishing, for the past year and a half I've gone "indie," republishing my backlist of science fiction novels and bringing out original books including the quirky fantasy duet Stories of the Puzzle Lands. More books are on the way! In the meantime, look for me on twitter and facebook, and if you'd like to be informed when I have something new available, please consider signing up for my very occasional newsletter.
