Although she no longer hunts, she still fishes, hikes, plows her road in the winter, cuts firewood and spends time at her cabin (which she built) in northwestern Montana.
She edited and published a book of her mother’s columns from The Western Breeze, a Cut Bank newspaper, and has written two western poetry books. For a dozen years she performed her poetry at various “cowboy gatherings” in the state. She has also written Rachel, a fact-based historical novel set in Pennsylvania in the early 1800’s, and Scattered by the Winds, a western novel set in the late 1800’s.
Several of her articles have been published in W.O.W., a children’s science magazine, Montana Outdoors, Country Magazine, and Montana Woman.view less
