I’ve
been earning a living writing since I was eighteen—when
I got my first TV copywriting job. I had an
early career acting in TV commercials. The time
came to decide whether I was an actress or a
writer. To put this to the test, I wrote a novel.
That clinched it. My first novel, The Seeds
of Time, was published by Bantam in 1997. It’s
still in print. The book is science fiction
as are the next five novels. My current series
is SF with a fantasy feel.

My
husband, Tom Overcast, and I have three grown
sons and a large orange cat. After living in Seattle
for quite awhile, we moved to the eastern side
of Washington state to Wenatchee, for the smaller
community and the great weather. We also spend
time in Southern California—another desert
community. Rainy weather is not for me, I guess.

I’m
glad I chose writing. It’s a good path.
I like to encourage those of a like mind to try
it and keep going. Thus, my “Still Writing”
e-newsletter, and my blog, often writing-centered.
I also head up a literary conference: Write
on the River.
