About
Me
I am a homemaker, writer, editor, and poet.
I teach three of my eight children at home on a little farm-to-be just north of
Lawrence, Kansas. I have taught classes in Business Management, Drama, Rhetoric
and Writing; led workshops on Holy Leisure, Home Schooling, Writing for Good
Causes, Better Thesis Papers, Personality Styles, and C.S. Lewis’ Preface to
Paradise Lost; spoken for women’s retreats, Home-School conferences, C.S.
Lewis classes, conferences and study groups; and offered lectures on the Life
and Works of Dorothy Sayers, Lewis’ Till We Have Faces, and poetry. I
have published work in Envoy, Canticle, Hereditas, Catholic Exchange and
newspaper editorial pages and am currently promoting a new book about Sabbath
rest: Souls at Rest. I can now also say, tongue-in-cheek, that I am
an ‘award winning’ poet – see my winning clerihews in the published poetry
section!
You are welcome to anything you find on my site, for personal use, and I would love to know how you're using it. All published work is available for reprint - contact me. In particular, I would like to offer all the Homemade Humor to any Catholic parish or diocesan papers whose readers would enjoy them, for a nominal fee - contact me. I think of my writing as collaborating with others, rather than as selling a product, so I am most interested in sharing it where it can help another Catholic work.
