About me

Gender Female
Occupation Writer, College Instructor, Administrator
Location Annapolis, Maryland, United States
Introduction Empty nest; what is next? Over 20 years as a creative writing instructor; over 40 years as a writer. On my desk right now, an unopened bag of coffee beans, a music cd, a plethora of pens, two newspaper scraps, photos of my son and daughter, two half-full bottles of water and a half empty coffee mug and a notice from Julie about a poetry reading Friday night.
Interests Writing, creating, laughing, playing. Get your motor running, grab the wheel, and drive your life. I'm interested in driving, not being run over.
Favorite Movies The King of Hearts, Dogville, Philadelphia Story, anything by Hitchcock
Favorite Music Sting, Sonya Kitchel, Tom Waits, Beatles, Nora Whitaker, Peter Cincotti
Favorite Books If You Want to Write by Brenda Euland, Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell, White Oleander by Janet Fitch, all work by Carol Sheilds, The Road by Cormac McCarthy
