Welcome to my site! I’m so glad you’re here. I am an author/illustrator, artist and a retired teacher based in Seattle, Washington. For as long as I can remember, I have loved education, music, dance, and history. I bring my experience as a passionate storyteller and family historian into everything I make.

Over the years, I have traveled to France, Germany, Switzerland, Scotland, Italy, and all over the United States. These trips have sparked my curiosity, and have helped me write meaningful stories that explore the culture and beauty of each region’s history.

When I’m not creating, I am an enthusiastic grammy who loves family time, music, gardening, reading historical novels, and learning more about my family heritage.

I’m a proud member of Clan Campbell of North America, as well as a Patron and member of Friends of Argyll Estates Archives in Inveraray, Scotland.
