Background
She grew
up in the Finger
Lakes
region of New York State
, where she started her first novel - an undersea
fantasy featuring herself and her friends - at the age of
nine. She published her first book, a cartoon collection
called
Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of
thirteen.
After
completing her degree in film production at Ithaca College
in 1987, she went to work for the National Park Service. Her many
years as a park ranger enabled her to work in a variety of natural
and historical settings, from 300 feet below the surface of the
Earth to 13,000 feet above sea level on the
Continental Divide; and from the textile
mills of the
American
Industrial Revolution to the homes of Americans who changed the
course of history.
Currently
she lives in a log cabin in Maine
where she
writes full time and pursues interests reading, guitar playing, and
cartoon illustration, supervised by two cats and
a dog.She enjoys exploring the magical
places around her and can often be found paddling a canoe in
stillwater, ambling through the woods to mountain summits, or
sitting along the rocky shore listening, watching, and daydreaming.
This is her fantasy, at least.
