I am an adventurer and multi-award winning author. I was born in Hartford, Connecticut, lived in Hampstead, New Hampshire, twenty-three years before moving to Sarasota, Florida, where I now reside. In Florida, I became active in several organizations benefiting women and hosted a weekly radio talk show, Women Matters.
I love the outdoors. I climbed my first mountain, Mount Washington, in 1974. Since that initial ascent, I have climbed twenty of the forty 4,000-foot mountains in New England. I started mountain bike racing at age 50; in 2002, I won second place in the Masters Division EFTA (Eastern Fat Tire Association) Championship Series.
In September and October 2011 and at 60 years old, I took my first long walk--the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain. As I walked, I talked with women from different nations. The book, Women of the Way, weaves these conversations with my journey.
Women of the Way: Embracing the Camino is the first book in the Woman On Her Way series.
When I married Dennis in 1974, we joked about creating a lifetime of memories to chat about when sitting in our rockers in old age. As we approach our 70s, we are still creating memories, experiencing life as fully as possible, and looking forward to a long future.
