I moved to Florida in 1980. I was born in Vt., but it's cold sooo long, I'll settle for scenic North Carolina. I enjoy the change of seasons. Spring, summer, winter, and fall, all have such a unique flavor; here it's just too subtle. I loved to ride horses more than anything. My dog Junior is a character in my first book, and there will be more of my pets in my next book. We moved a lot when I was young, from Canada to New York, and from Texas, to Florida. I met all kinds of people, and I find that the more rural it is, the more friendly people are. I have been married for a long time. So long it's like he's my left hip. But I'll keep him, he can fix anything! I have a beautiful secret garden, with everything from Plumeria, to Penta. There is nothing better than sitting out there with a good book and seeing the palms and ferns wave in the breezes, in winter, the real time to be here in Florida. I have written and published my first book in a series that takes place on Lake Champlain in Vermont. My always home. The only thing like the Green Mountains are the Great Smokey's, and a little town called Bryson City, NC. My next home, hopefully!

I'm at heart a dog person, but I do love kittens. Heck, I like any young animal. I once had the privilege of taking care of a Bengal tiger cub. I can still remember that newborn wildcat smell.
And I love puppy breath!

Hi Mary, you always have such beautiful pictures on your blog/
I love all animals, but I suppose I'm firstly a horse person, and then a dog person, although my dog cuddles up to me at home which my horses can't do (and probably wouldn't if they cold) I also have two ferrel cats who are so sweet and affectionate, so although I've never considered myself a cat person, I love them dearly. Each animal has its own personality and unique ways though, so its difficult to be specific.
Hey Mary,
When do we get new pics?

Hi, Mary!
I'm definitely a dog person. My Bea is my child and a very important family member, so yes, she is spoiled just as I would a child, LOL
I am an animal lover in general but I can not live without my furry children. In fact, very soon we are adopting a brother for Bea. We just have to find the perfect addition to the family.
You know I'm a wolf lover so canines are my fave:)

I refuse to choose between dogs and cats, but I will admit to breed preferences. I like Malamutes, Siamese, American Alley cat, and Germain Shepherds.
I love both cats and dogs, but I'm a huge cat person. I'm sure by now I'm part cat.
