About Me:

I have been writing about my travels since 1973, when I studied filmmaking, writing and photography at the American University in Rome, Italy. I put myself through school acting in spaghetti westerns and had a cameo role in the Godfather Part II. My essay Vespa 73 appears in the award-winning anthology Greece, a Love Story (Bay Area Travel Writer’s 2007 best travel book). I live in Marin County, California with my husband Jake and two Persian cats. Burmese Jade is my first mystery novel.
