I tell dog stories.
I write at the intersection of animals and human health.
For as long as I can remember I have been reading and telling dog stories. I grew up believing that a girl and her dog could save the world. After working over 30 years in health care, I discovered I was right . Dogs make our world better.
My experience as a retired Professional in Health Care Quality and Humane Education Specialist informs my writing. Now I write about dogs,the human-animal connection, animal assisted therapy , mental health, and how animals help humans.
I also write about my life living with a chronic disease and Lupus advocacy. My work has appeared in books, journals, magazines,blogs and print media.
A member of the Dog Writers Association of America, I am proud to be a past winner of the DWAA Maxwell Award for Best Blog.
My passions? Dogs, Books and Stories!
I coordinate an “Over 50 Writers Group”and Book Clubs. I live in the great state of Texas and enjoy supporting Golden Retriever Rescue, and reading dog stories. When I am not reading or telling dog tales I can usually be found engaged in goofy shenanigans with my Golden Retriever and muse, Kringle.
