I am an American writer, currently working on a book about the two times I lived in China. My husband's position as a golf course design coordinator keeps us on the go. Our recent move to Italy marks my 57th move. Though moving from one country to another and adjusting to cultrual differences can be overwhelming, I love my life. Actually, I have two, my life overseas and the one I live when at my Dallas home, near where my daughter and granddaughters live. Besides writing, I love photography.
