Hello! Welcome to my little corner of cyber space. I'm a New England native who once dreamed of raising my family in Europe and avoided anything that had to do with the American West (apologies to a large chunk of the USA). Today, I'm a walking testimony to God’s sense of humor, since I live quite happily in Montana with my husband of twenty-three years, one college-age daughter, one teenage daughter, a sweet-hearted Alaskan Malamute, two horses, and an ever-changing number of chickens.

I'm currently working on revising an old WIP (work-in-progress), streamlining and revamping it with a Christmas theme and throwing in a few Santa (ahem, Meister K) cameos. 😉

When I'm not immersed in writing or honing important life skills as a mom and homemaker (and forging the waters of homeschooling), you can find me knitting anything from clothes to toys, crafting for the home, or creating dioramas for my 16-inch poseable dolls (Ellowyne Wilde, anyone?).
