Graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a degree in English and have made my living with words in one way or another ever since.

Married (and divorced) a German citizen.

Had a son, who is 20 and has fledged.

Now live in an intentional community on Whidbey Island.

Created and published a card deck called Mixed Emotions that helps people put their feelings into words.

Photo is of me and my beloved little brother Tom Roush, Bethel High School class of 1980, who died of cancer last year.
