Overview

"""Who is that lady?"" asked my son-in-law, pointing to a sweet photo of my grandmother, Sigrid, taken at her high school graduation. This family history answers that question by telling stories I heard while growing up, supported by research, family recollections, and photographs. Imagine being born at the turn of the century and living 100 years of change and challenge. Frank Henry ran away from home at age 16 to become a cowboy in the wilds of Montana and Colorado. He was one of the early Forest Rangers, serving in the U.S. Forest Service from 1918-1926. Sigrid Torgny grew up a doctor's daughter, in Chicago. They met on a train in Wyoming; he was a cowboy, and she was a lady."

Author Information

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, attending some 8 high schools from Seattle to Phoenix. That pattern continued as I worked my way through college -- as a hospital admitting clerk, an international banker, and a social policy analyst, among many other jobs. After earning my master's degree, I taught writing, technical writing, and humanities at Linn-Benton Community College in Oregon and served as Department Chair there. At first, Allen, my husband, and I traveled each summer in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. A sabbatical in 2004 led me to research the humanities in Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, and Spain, spending a month in each country. My publishing career began with editing and then writing textbooks while teaching. When I retired, I began writing historical fiction. The Seventh Tapestry marks my first romantic suspense. I now live in Washington State, close to grandkids and family - and still ready to travel with husband, camera, and laptop at a moment's notice.
