I am my kids' mom, but too much mom can cramp their style, so when they cut me a little time, I write. And teach. And volunteer at their school. Seems like the ole biddies I used to meet as I pushed a stroller-full were right - they sure do grow up too fast.

I call them my investment in our future, and they're looking like a better bet than the New York Stock Exchange. Especially now.

Check out my clips, and help me out by buying a book or two. And, if you have a writing project you'd like me to look at, drop me a line. I prefer religious copyediting and writing, but I have done work for other venues as well.

My fledgling attempt at a women's magazine can be found at right - Secretum Meum Mihi  (Wha? It means My Secret is Mine - in Latin.)  The newsletter is three years old, and the site is full of quirky, different reviews and stories, bible studies, saint vignettes and interviews of Catholic women you'll be glad to meet.

GO ahead, "click to find out about my secret". You'll see the backstory to the weird Latin name in the left column of the main page. It started with Edith Stein, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Go on, tell 'em mom sent you.
