I am an adventurer and multi-award-winning author. I was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and lived in Hampstead, New Hampshire, for 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. Recently, I returned to New England and, surprisingly to me, have adapted to living with cold and snow.
I love the outdoors. I climbed my first mountain, Mount Washington, in 1974. Since that initial ascent, I have climbed twenty-two of the forty 4,000-foot mountains in New England. I started mountain bike racing at age 50; in 2002, I placed second in the Masters Division of the EFTA (Eastern Fat Tire Association) Championship Series.
In September and October 2011, at 60, 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 into 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 as we sat in our rockers in old age. As we approach our 80s, we are still creating memories, experiencing life as fully as possible, and looking forward to a long future.
