Born in Washington, DC to southern USA parents, life began as a cross-cultural experience. After graduating from Stetson University in my much loved state of Florida (Baptist College), I joined the Peace Corps. I had a missionary heart, but still with a political agenda for peace. For many years I have lived in the United Kingdom, raising a family, teaching school, founding a human relations consultancy for international families moving to London- and writing. Above all I love my family times and writing.When I get a chance, I am heading for Cuba!
