About lil' ol' me.

    I have been a member of SCA for over 20 years, all of it in the great Barony of Dragons' Laire, in the Kingdom of An Tir. (Well, half of it anyway. Dragons' Laire was not elevated to Barony until 1995.) During all of that time I have been in the thick of things in the kitchen, organizing, supervising and cooking for potlucks, augmented potlucks and full feasts. ( But I was cooking long before that, what with a family to feed and all.)

    Over the years, I have officially served Dragons' Laire as Arts and Sciences Champion, Exchequer, Gold Key Mistress, Webminister, and Culinary Guildmistress. 

    I have been a frequent contributor to the local newsletter, The Flames of the Dragon. Some of my articles have been reprinted in whole or part in a wide range of branches all over the known world.  I was briefly editor of Fabrica Eruditum, the  A&S Supplement to the Crier, newsletter of An Tir.

    My awards include of an Award of Arms, Companion of the orders of the Goute de Sang, Jambe de Lion on the Kingdom level. And on the Baronial level, the Bumblebee, Wyvern, The Dragon's Pearl,  Dragon's Flame and The Dragon's Heart.

These pages will reflect some of those experiences.

For those of you who are not readily familiar with the geography of the known world, The Barony of Dragons Laire is  located in Kitsap County, State of Washington, USA, on the western shore of Puget Sound (Seattle is on the eastern shore).
