She is a first generation American descended from family coming from Scotland and Germany. Her maternal family history was told in her first book, The Proud Prussian.
This story focuses on her paternal family who came from Scotland to Nova Scotia, Canada and then down into upstate New York. She was born in Saratoga, N.Y. and grew up surrounded by the history of that city and some of its historic sites such as Fort Saratoga. She has great memories of visits to the Seneca Indian Tribe located in upstate New York where she learned to appreciate nature in all its glory.
She graduated from Skidmore College and studied history and languages. At graduation, she found that New York had a hold on hiring any teachers for that year. Rather than wait and work part time as a substitute, she followed a family tradition from the Royal British Navy and enlisted in the U.S. Navy where she worked at the Pentagon with Naval Intelligence and as an Admiral’s Aide.
She has traveled extensively overseas where she has visited Russia, Germany and, of course, the United Kingdom. Her first trip to Russia was with an International Exchange with the U.S. where she visited Moscow and St. Petersburg along with various museums and hospitals. Her visits to Germany have been more frequent as have her visits to England and Scotland.
While in the U.S., she has lived in New York along with Virginia, New Mexico and Texas. At present she lives in Washington state where she is familiar with that state’s two well-known universities, the University of Washington and Washington State University. She is an avid fan of the New York Yankees and yes, she sings the praises of the Seattle Seahawks.weniger sehen
