Story is in my DNA.

I grew up on the eastern South Dakota prairie in a family of storytellers, so it’s no wonder that words are how I’ve made my living since moving to Minnesota. I’m the author of four unpublished novels—two complete and two in process. When I’m not writing for myself or my clients, I design and make quilts.

I’m a member of the Professional Editors Network and a long-time student at the Loft Literary Center. I’m on the board of my condominium association where I serve as treasurer. My husband, Ed Lotterman, is an economics writer, and we live in the Falcon Heights neighborhood of Saint Paul.
