My affection for rural life began when my parents brought me home to the family homestead in southeastern Nebraska. I fondly remember the first time my grandmother took my brother and me to watch (quietly!) under the barn door while a calf was born and the summer we bottle-fed Sam the Ram Lamb in his playpen in our living room. Whenever I need a break from streetlights, I go back there to soak up some wind-blown peace and quiet.

My love affair with publishing started right out of college (first at Hastings College and then at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln) with my first job as an editor at Cliffs Notes and has continued through a few other publishers and a few states (most recently Colorado) to land me here at Grit. I’m the Web site woman, and I work with photographers, compile MailCall and Friends & Neighbors and write QuizGrit and an occasional feature.
