I'm a fiber artist, writer, editor, and owner of V Creative Adventures, LLC. I crochet and knit unique garments and accessories, and I also test patterns and offer editing services. As a writer, I focus on travel, food, business, technology, crafts, and book reviews. I have a Ph.D. in English and am an associate professor emerita at Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio. Currently I work as a seasonal Musk Ox Farm interpretive guide and writing tutor and split my time between Alaska and the southwestern U.S.
