About Me:

I fence, write, teach, and read a lot. Sometimes I get published, sort of by accident. No, the next book is not going to be out soon.

I fence sabre. Fencing is a wonderful sport--you can keep getting better even when your body is slowing down. Sabre fencers yell a lot.

On Labor Day Weekend 2006, in Bath, England, I won the World Championships in Veteran age 50-59 Women's Sabre. The USA team took four of the five top spots in the event. Below is a picture of the end of the medal ceremony and the playing of the National Anthem. That's me on the top of the stand. You can bet I was singing along.

Medal Grin

And that's how relieved I am I didn't lose.

My Ph.D. is in research on teaching, from the University of Pennsylvania.  I taught elementary school science to 4th and 5th grade boys for 10 years, and now I'm teaching 6th grade English.

I've been married since 1976.  My husband Stephen is a computer consultant. We have one daughter, two cats, a changeable number of computers, relatively little debt, no savings, far too many books, and a good deal of second-hand furniture.   Our daughter, Jessica, is a graduate student in English at Temple University, and I'm horribly proud of her.
