Her Hobbies
When not writing several hours each day, she spends more time than she should playing Free Cell and Scrabble
on the computer. She is also an award winning quilter/quilt teacher. Her cat, Patsy Climb, insists upon sitting
in Gloria's lap while she writes at the computer. Perhaps Patsy believes that she is Gloria's muse.
