I'm a writer inspired by the people, places and culture of the Midwest. In my memoir, GROWING UP COUNTRY: MEMORIES OF AN IOWA FARM GIRL, I share stories about growing up in the middle of the United States, in the middle of the 20th Century, a way of farm life that is rapidly disappearing from the American landscape.GO AWAY HOME, my World War One-era novel, is a coming of age novel that will resonate with anyone who's confronted the conflict between dreams and reality and come to recognize that getting what you want often means giving up something else you want just as much. GO AWAY HOME won the 2014 Readers' Favorite SILVER MEDAL for Historical Fiction and was a FINALIST in the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Lake Union Publishing, an imprint of Amazon Publishing, acquired and re-launched GO AWAY HOME in July 2015I am privileged to have my writing included in a number of anthologies.
