Bio

      I was born in a farming community in rural Nebraska with more cattle than people.  Disenchanted with milking Heidi, our ever-lactating Hereford, I took to reading books.  After plowing through the Catcher and the Rye in high school, I decided I, too, could write.  The University of Nebraska, Lincoln, must have agreed, because I graduated in 1977 with a BA in journalism.

 

Proving that God does indeed have a sense of humor, after Frito-Lay, Peter, my adventurous husband, and I somehow wound up back in cattle country as owners of an IBM computer store (sadly, Heidi was now in cow heaven).  Our venture didn’t make us rich, but my Windows knowledge helped me Excel at my next position as promotion manager for the University of California, Irvine.   

 

Probably the most rewarding job in my varied career is what I am doing now as vice president of the Pintus Household where I serve as wife to Peter and mom to our two daughters who are walking evidence that teenagers CAN BE A BLAST!  Oh yeah, and in my spare time I write, speak, coach other writers and speakers, and travel all around the world with my dear friend, Linda Dillow, where we speak to tens of thousands of women each year about sex and tell them of the hope and healing they can know through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ  (see website, www.intimeissues.com).
