Short Bio:
My age is greater than the maximum Arizona speed limit and less than the maximum Texas speed limit.
I've retired from teaching, counseling, managing, and 20 years writing for magazines.
I wrote for Glamour, Nature Conservancy, WSJ Online, Phoenix Home & Garden, Scottsdale Magazine, Plateau Journal, and more. My book Traveling Indian Arizona won AZ Authors Association award for best published non-fiction, 2007.
I live in Scottsdale, Arizona.
I love nature and the outdoors, archaeology and adventure travel.
I research Arizona history for fun (and sometimes profit) and also appreciate the cultures of the 22 Native tribes in this state.
