Bio
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

I wrote this chapter a year ago, while I was recovering from Covid, and it won 2nd place in the Purple Clouds challenge. Ana's Home is still one of my favorite pieces in my Vocal collection, and it involves an eclipse (if you read to the end).

I slashed wordy passages as if repelling noisy intruders.
