About me

My favorite poem is “Dreams” by Langston Hughes. Listen to him reading it here.

While living in Virginia, I dreamed of moving to Arizona, and was able to live in Tempe for three years with my husband Alvaro Ibañez, our youngest daughter, and a large art collection. 

I enjoyed the experience of blogging and living in a different environment while in Arizona, but we realized that we can never replace our home outside of Kilmarnock Virginia. Our dream of a retreat center for creative continues, and in spring 2020 we began hosting events to promote local writers. See more on Facebook.

While living in Arizona, I began writing a novel set in rural Virginia, and now that I’ve completed it, I’m writing a sequel set in Arizona. Some of my writing also mentions my home state of Colorado. I’m also living in two times, as I attempt to recreate the Great Depression through fiction inspired by the Wharton film restoration project.
