Welcome to my Website

I am glad you are here, and I hope that you’ll become a conversation partner or a reader friend. Join my Journey! This site is devoted to friends, family members, fellow writers, guitarists and vocalists.
I was born in Germany but have lived in this country for most of my adult life. In California I married and began my American working life in my husband's law office. We raised three children, all boys. As I grew familiar with my surroundings, so did my desire to write--and make music as I did in my youth, see Music Gallery.
In Wyoming I have written opinion columns on culture and society for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle and the Casper Star-Tribune. Currently I write for the online Cheyenne Post, see my Cheyenne Post writings in the page "Columns Cheyenne Post." I also write creatively and publish in literary magazines.  
Abby came to me in June 2015. At eighteen months, Abby had three previous owners and would not allow me to touch her. This has changed, now that she has come to know me.
Sadly, as of July 2024, Abby is no longer with me. She is sorely missed.
In May 2025, my new husband and I welcomed a border collie pup into our home. Her name is Wooffie, see  below.

During part of May and June 2025, my new husband and I lived in California, house- and dog-sitting for my son and his family while they travelled in Europe and visited extended family.  Woofie, our pup, loved to play with her California canine companion Lola, a yellow lab. Here they are after a walk with Hubby Ron.

Ditching the Mask

This is the title of my memoir due out in six weeks or so. I am happy and super excited.
