After crisscrossing the country, my husband of 30+ years and I finally settled in Peoria, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, where our two grown daughters, Meg and Kate, and our grandchild, Kaelyn, also live. Paul and I spend most of our time in the Valley of the Sun, but when the temperatures hit the triple digits, we head up to the High Country to our second home in Flagstaff--a cool retreat and a great place to write a book.
