in the mundane world, i'm a college instructor devoted to the educational side of life, humbly serving as a guide to students of all ages. i've also recently been appointed to help design the curriculum for a distance study pilot geared towards community college adult learners - the first in the texas region.  i've been actively engaged in editing and reviewing the work of other talented writers and am poised to write several academic articles which i will post soon.  i also recently received the honor of composing a love poem to commemorate an anniversary and got paid for it,  too! 

the struggles between all the extremes in life inspire me to write. of course, the ultimate influence is everyday life as it comes to me, or i go to it, whichever comes first. 

the ultimate muse in my life, however, is my beloved lifemate.  in every breath, in every sound, in every beat of my heart, she is the seed that gives birth to me at the dawn of every morn and brings the blessed rain of peace in my slumber every evening. 

if i have a style it's romantically freerange. i write from inspiration without much regard to formality. it's the one place i color outside the lines. if you find this offensive, you have been warned.

and YES i tend to be an overdramatic, sappy romantic lesbian, but i am in good company . . . .
