Short Bio:
                
                    My age is greater than the maximum Arizona speed limit and less than the maximum Texas speed limit.
I've retired from teaching,  counseling,  managing,  and 20 years writing for magazines.  
I wrote for Glamour,  Nature Conservancy,  WSJ Online,  Phoenix Home & Garden,  Scottsdale Magazine,  Plateau Journal,  and more. My book Traveling Indian Arizona won AZ Authors Association award for best published non-fiction,  2007.
I live in Scottsdale,  Arizona.
I love nature and the outdoors,  archaeology and adventure travel.
I research Arizona history for fun (and sometimes profit) and also appreciate the cultures of the 22 Native tribes in this state.
