Interests

Lots of interests: Music, visual art, photography, nature walks, and very small rocks. I have a lovely 5 year old boy who takes up a bit of time and love.
When I'm not writing plays I'm in them or directing them. When not doing that I'm teaching. When not doing that I'm drawing, reading, watching TV online, walking, playing with my son, singing, talking to my hubby, writing poetry, gardening, or sleeping.

Years of playwriting

Well, that depends if the stuff I wrote as a child counts or not? I'd say 11 years of knowing I am a playwright.

Current Projects

Nothing in a firm performance commitment at the moment, but plays going out for contests and gathering inquiries for next year. I have 6 plays I'm working on at the moment and 2 are full length, so to start another full length is pretty crazy right now! But I can't resist the call of the Rhino!, Current projects:, Working on a full length Christmas Civil War play., "Star of Wonder", Working on a full length I've been working for 10 years, and am determined to finish before the year is out!, "Mine All Mine", Working on a one act about a 1932 dance marathon in WA., "Blistered Souls", Working on a one act about autism., "Hunting Dinosaurs", Rewriting a couple of 10 minute plays., "The Secret Life of Hens", "Hot Button Issues"
