Maps show us where we’re going
Where we’ve been
Where others have been
Where others are going
And where we can go
If that is our choice

I am a writer of fantasy fiction that often surrounds middle-aged women. I am a married mother of two and granny to three, a BoHo Chic kinda gal. I am recently retired and busier than when I worked 9-5. But writing and blogging is my main game.
