Welcome to my website!   


Do you like real-life stories with eccentric characters?  Poignant family dramas?  A bit of goof, intense danger, or romance?  Then you might be my reader.


Some of my stories have appeared in Menda City Review, Fiction on the Web, Foliate Oak Literary Magazine, The Literary Nest, and Kaleidoscope.  And my poetry has won many awards.  


So who am I?  An ex-physical therapist and civil engineer.  And some of my many quirks include: world traveler, history buff, voracious reader, guitar-player, fiddler, quilter, photographer, equestrian, and Spanish speaker who lived two years in Mexico and landed in a Mexican jail (yikes!).  And saving the best for last ... a single adoptive mom -- now that's an adventure!

After being abandoned by her mother as a child, and then enduring a fiery relationship with her dad, Cheryl’s accident is her last straw.
