| Introduction | I started my writing career late. I dabbled, but as years passed, I was terribly unhappy putting all those stories on the shelf to "live life." So, to keep my head from exploding, I began to WRITE. And now I can breathe. I love stories and my fiction writing interests are slice-of-life, family saga, coming-of-age, and crime drama. I want to write books that bring to light injustice, the absurdity of racism, and bigotry of any kind by pointing out how much we humans are alike. In my non-fiction work, I want to write articles that will bring to the forefront the social issues that harm humanity and disrespect our planet. Our world is amazing, wondrous, beautiful, and I am grateful for my place in it. |
| Interests | Writing, editing, reading, teaching writing, researching for fiction and non-fiction. I read about 6 books a month, both fiction and non-fiction. Days I spend editing what I wrote yesterday. |
| Favorite Music | Rock, metal, jazz, blues, old, old country, and new age. Favorite musicians and artists are Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, Cher, Phil Collins, Warren Zevon, Leonard Cohen, and Nick Cave. Others. |
| Favorite Books | A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Stand, anything by Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, Elizabeth Berg, Annie Proulx, Dorothy Allison, Gillian Flynn, Dean Koontz, and others too numerous to list. |
