Background
Information
|
|
Originally from Wisconsin, I now live in the beautiful mountain ringed desert community of Tucson, Arizona. My love of reading led to my love for writing, and since 1993 I have been writing for both children and adults. I have published short stories in many genres including mystery and horror. I have had articles appear in magazines on all sorts of subjects including writing tips, animals, personal experience, nostalgia and humor. I also write and sell puzzles, poetry and light verse, and greeting card captions.
