My first love was the theater. And my greatest professional thrill was acting on the same stage as Sarah Bernhardt—though not in the same century.
I’ve appeared in TV shows and movies, including DEGRASSI JUNIOR HIGH, IT MUST BE LOVE, starring Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, and SNOWBOUND with Jann Arden.
Writing is rather similar to acting, I believe. Except I get to play ALL the characters… while wearing my PJs and sipping tea.
What could be better?
Plus, I’m married to my first love—a wonderful guy. So I don’t just write romance, I live it!
When I’m not typing away at my desk, I’m reading, quilting, cross-stitching, whipping up a fabulous new recipe (generally served with a glass of wine), or hiking around the Rocky Mountain village I call home, where mule deer and bighorn sheep roam the streets.
I’ve had a variety of jobs over the years—radio announcer, historical interpreter, and drama instructor. I’ve even managed a retail store. And, like many performers, I’ve been a waitress—possibly the world’s worst—mixing up orders, and dumping food and coffee into the laps of unsuspecting customers.
Check out one of the scenes from that DEGRASSI episode I mentioned. And please forgive my 1980s perm.
