When I’m not writing, I enjoy hiking on the many trails right in my backyard, taking trips with my family, painting, and cooking up new recipes.
I am a descendant of a member (my Father) of the Klamath, Modoc, Yahooskin tribes in Klamath, Oregon, and of the Maori tribe in New Zealand. My current YA novel is a blend of my heritage, standing up for what’s right, while preserving art and nature.
