About Me
I am a professional with over 20 years' experience in the health care sector. I am told my research skills are top notch and that I can distill quite complicated concepts into plain English. I have built a fairly successful career.
But a few years ago, I took up writing again--something I had not done seriously for eons. And discovered I still loved it. I sent my work to GoNomad and Inside Sacramento and discovered that people want to hear my stories. I also started writing for and coordinating my neighborhood newsletter, the River Park Review.
I think this combination of good writing and research combined with my ability to explain complicated concepts in simple terms may well make me the right person to tell a meaningful story.

We, modern-day people, are welcome to visit and watch them go about their lives.

Fascinating Castella Di Amorosa In Napa
By Inna Tysoe
The Sattui family, owners of V. Sattui Winery, did not go back to making wine when Prohibition was repealed.
Their vineyard lay mostly neglected until 1970 when Dario Sattui decided to make wine in a castle—the Castella di Amorosa in Calistoga, California.
Lore has it he came up with the idea while backpacking across Europe, but perhaps it was simply that if you’re going to make wine, a castle is an interesting place in which to do it. Whatever the reason, my husband and I drove to...
