As a recently retired person, I have realized a true love of writing. I admired my mentor, and now I’m following in the footsteps of that mentor, my mother, Dawn Meier, who has written many books over the years. I grew up in Oregon, and other than 11 years living and working in Southern California, I’ve lived here most of my life. I currently live in the beautiful Santiam Canyon in Oregon with my three dogs and views that would make your heart sing. I enjoy the outdoors, shooting a little pool, playing poker and occasionally traveling.
