There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -L. Cohen



Background Information

I was born nearly deafened in a hearing world and that alone has given me a slanted perspective. I used to think everyone else was off the wall when all along it was me. In the long run, I've learned not to fear silence or hide from shadows, so I suppose the trip has been worth it.

Being deaf has made me a Visual Person, since my eyes are also my ears as well as my sight. I hear with my eyes.

When people speak, I read their lips, that's my primary mode of communication. I've been doing it all my life. It's my mode of "hearing." I hear with my eyes. I also read a person's body language and facial expressions along with their lips... it all tells me a story, that reveals more than just what the lips are saying.

This all influences my general perspective of viewing the world. Silence can be deafening. The shadows can be blinding.

Life is what happens when you make other plans according to John Lennon. He's right, you know. And that's why I've never really sat down long enough to force my writings on the general public.  Even so, I managed to jot down, here and there, over the years enough partial short stories, unfinished novels, notebooks of poetry, insights and rambling thoughts to keep me busy for the next decade editing and completing various projects.

And over the last twenty five years of Life pummelling me and throwing boulders at my head, this jotting and half hearted writing managed to keep me out of prison a few times.

Though, come to think about it, I suppose in prison, I would have more time writing.

But now, my old life style doesn't seem to have anymore distracting plans for me, so I find I have more time on my hands and the desire is strong to play with language, share insights, evoke enticing images, stimulate brain synapsis, generate hunger for answers, persuade, tease and inflict mental seduction in a weave of words.

And, perhaps, force my writings on the public.

Accomplishments

Actually, I am a work in progress and hope I have great potential. Put myself through college as a single mother, graduating cum laude. I have reared two beautiful children into terrific adults and am a grandmother, albeit a young one, of a six year old little boy, with another grandbaby on the way. (And yes, the picture above is relatively recent.)

I'm found in various anthologies. Received Editor's Choice Award. Wrote a column for years, called *And the Earth Speaks,* for a grassroots newsletter with a small but avid and loyal readership.

Additional Information

I am now attempting to create my first novel. I began it many years ago and set it aside. One of those, "Life is what Happens when you make other plans," incidences and it got away from me. A few weeks ago, I pulled it out, dusted off the old floppy disk, prayed and hoped I could still pull it up and retrieve the information. I was in luck! After re-reading it for the first time in more than ten years, I decided it still has merit and have since been rewriting it. It's been quite interesting. Perhaps soon I'll share chapters with you.
