About the Author

This is the author’s first book. She writes, paints and sculpts at Moonstone Beach above the Pacific shore. She travels when enticing destinations present themselves, loves road trips, treasures her children and grandchildren and dives into new projects with joy. Each Sunday morning she walks on the sandy shore at Moonstone Beach, looking for endangered snowy plovers and picking up trash. She has always been curious about everything. Ms. Kelleher-Roy has served on community boards, created and administered non-profits, owned businesses and consulted with business and government. Now with her memoir under wraps, she looks forward to tackling poetry and jazz piano.
