Welcome! I hope your visit here contributes to your beautiful day.
I want to remind you . . .
“Every day we are alive is a beautiful day.” – Debra Parmley
ADVENTUROUS AUTHOR: That would describe me as I live with my husband in a 43 foot motorhome full time and we travel the United States of America while I write my books. In 2020 we sold everything in Bartlett, TN and moved into the motorhome full time.
Summer of 2022 we lived for five months on a sandbar in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Our workamping jobs at Camp Hatteras placed us with a five minute walk to the beach from our motorhome. We were able to explore all the islands of the Outer Banks on our days off, had many adventures, and my favorite thing, beach time. After a N’oreaster came through, which shut down route 12 (the only road on or off the island), we went exploring and found this shipwreck which the storm had uncovered.

Last winter, 2023, we spent 21 days working as gate guards for oil rigs in southwest Texas. Off of our GPS, on a ranch with private roads. I took the night shift and could watch the local coyote hunting, while my husband took the day shift and would see the roadrunner who would visit. We were only ten miles from the border of Mexico, but I only saw an INS van come through once and it was empty.
Summer of 2023 our workamping jobs were in Cody, Wyoming experiencing real life in a rodeo town. They have rodeo here every night from June 1st to August 31st. It is very much a rodeo town. Unfortunately, due to health issues, in July I spent 18 days in the hospital in Billings, Montana. We learned that I have Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) which is an autoimmune disorder in which the body creates too many red blood cells, which leads to clotting. I had a clot which created a stroke in my brain in the area which controls balance. As I now cannot drive, or get around without my walker, you are now more likely to see me at online events. Though I do still plan to be at Tropicon in February, I can only do events if I have help with them.
Some of what I have learned on my travels may show up in my books. I’m working on a travel list of all the places I have been. (So many that I need a list to keep up.) Between the years I sold travel and went to many countries, and the time we’ve spent in the motorhome visiting places, I have quite a bit to add to that list.
Last year I also started writing a travel memoir about our first year on the road. That one is slower to write as I match it with my planner dates and journal entries for accuracy. This will be my first nonfiction book so there’s a bit of a learning curve. I also got little to no writing done while living on the sandbar. You will catch some glimpses of our lifestyle and adventures by visiting my travel blog.
