I am back here at AuthorsDen after time away that started in 2006.. The last few months (July 2006 to Feb. 2007) of my absence were because of an injury I suffered in July 2006. I did start participating in Feb. 2007 and I'll be writing in more detail about that injury soon. I also will soon be writing a lot again; and hopefully the third novel will be finished soon. I was hoping that with luck the 3rd book would have been be published in 2008, but because of a family member's death I was not able to do this. (More will be posted about this as well.)
I hope to also post more poems and some short stories. Perhaps even information about some other novels I have outlined and in planning. I have posted some but there are more to come.
Oh, and the rest of my Bio is stilll accurate, although I did make a few additions (? have fun if you can find them.)
Bio . . .
I was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. One of my first jobs after graduating from Katherine Gibbs School of Business was at the Providence Public Library, which provided an excellent opportunity to devour their wonderful collection of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I went on to study Anthropology at Rhode Island College. Still fascinated by differences in cultures, their mythologies, and beliefs, I weave much of that into my writing. I have been writing since High School, and have accumulated a huge stack of bits of ideas and story lines. Most of what I write falls into the Fantasy and Science Fiction genre. I am also currently a federal government employee and do a lot of writing for work. Some articles that I have written have been published in the Agency's Quarterly Magazine.
Birth Place: Providence, RI USA
