Our Roots

  • Why I Write

    I have always loved to write. When I first tried to write a fiction novel a couple of decades ago, I ended up with a thousand page book that had five or six different sagas. They kind of dovetailed into each other. Now I consider that attempt my morning pages, like vomiting on the pages…

  • My Experience

    Hello! I’m a retired public school teacher and fiction author. I love learning about history. One of my favorite classes was a course in linguistics. And I enjoy learning about Civics and the American Constitution, something I feel wasn’t covered very well in my education. My parents were public school teachers. When I was in…

  • Goal

    I’m starting a new blog to explore history in as many countries as I can. I’m worried about the world and the loss of traditions and cultures of every country. I want people to remember their roots, what their ancestors fought for and died for and to be proud of their heritage. Exploring cultures has…

  • Happiness Per the Bible

This is how it all started…

I was born on a stormy, fog-ridden night in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When I was three, my family moved to Southern California. My daddy was an aerospace engineer and was the supervisor on a couple of the Apollos, which got my imagination going at an early age. I’m married and have a daughter and a son.

Now my husband and I live full time in Surf City, North Carolina. My daughter, son-in-law and baby granddaughter live in Surf City so I get to see them a lot!

Ever since I was small, I made up stories for my troll dolls, my rubber mermaids and for my Barbie dolls–most of the time they were all together in the same world. We had a dumb waiter and I would imagine traveling to all sorts of planets inside that shute.

Now I am starting a new blog to explore history and how we have arrived to this day. I’m worried about the world and the loss of traditions and cultures of every country. Exploring cultures has always been my love, and I hope everyone in the world will fight for and embrace their unique traditions.

Thanks for reading.
