About Me
Celia was born in Detroit in 1949 and grew up in, Clarkston, a small town 35 miles northwest of the city. Her first career was with horses. She trained horses and taught students on Southeast Michigan’s hunter jumper circuit for more than 30 years. Her second career sent her back to school to study gardening fine arts and landscape design. They were not just careers, they were passions and when life left room for a new passion she began to distance hike. Her husband said, “She got to H in the alphabet and stopped. She went from horses, to horticulture, to hiking.”
Celia has kept journals and written short stories and poems all of her life. She has written articles for newsletters, local newspapers, and The Vermont League of Writers. She published her first book, Walking Home: Trail Stories, at the age of seventy-one and her first novel, Augusta, at seventy-three. Her third book. Big Guy, a middle grade children’s book is due out in the spring of 2024, and she has more projects to come.
Celia and Don have been married for 39 years. They share their life with a border collie named Flurry and divide their time between Ortonville, Michigan and Bridgewater Corners, Vermont.
