In September of 2010 we moved to Chinle, AZ on the Navajo reservation where my husband Steve works for the Indian Health Service. I wrote, visited schools and libraries and attended writing conferences around the country. I taught online in the graduate writing programs at Seton Hill University and Chatham University. I enjoyed meeting the people and learning about the culture. Navajo weaving has become a new hobby and I enjoyed hiking, biking snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing in the Southwest. Canyon de Chelly was at our backdoor.
