She was born in Canada and is a naturalized American citizen. Dorris grew up in a small, predominately German-immigrant town in Ontario, Canada. She is the 12th child in a family of 13, and has traveled throughout both Canada and the United States.

Her vivid imagination, somewhat quirky sense of humor and extensive travels give her writings a unique perspective. Dorris’ writings cover a wide variety of topics and genres. Her short stories and poems have won first place several times in annual State-level competitions sponsored by The Texas Federation of Women’s Clubs; her work has been published in both The Texas Clubwoman (TFWC publication) and in the Big Lake Wildcat (a weekly newspaper for Big Lake, Texas).
