She has served parishes in Maine, Vermont, and New York, worked in corrections at Attica and Albion (as a medical and psychiatric RN respectively), and is presently available for pulpit supply. She is the author of The Friendly Beasts (Stories of Jesus) and her stories and prayers have appeared in Tigert and Tirabassi’s Before the Amen.
Her stories are told to youth, or presented by them, during worship. After her granddaughter, Kristy, was born, she started sending her a “friendly beast” story every advent. When Kristy became 9, she compiled those stories as a Christmas gift and later published the collection. She firmly resists taking full credit for her writing, saying: “The stories aren't mine really. They're whispers of love I overheard while listening to God.”view less
