Background
Information

|
I have been a story teller since childhood; I took journalism in school, and was sidetracked by a love for cosmetology, which was my major career. When I stopped working, I returned to my love of language, and began my writing again. I have numerous publishing credits, essays, poems. Some of my credentials include: A National Bronze Merit Award in 2003 for an essay, Here's Memories, a story in A cup of Comfort series, In Sickness and In Muck, 2005, and several contributions in, Retired, by A, Boroughs Books, 2006. In July, 2009, my first full length novel was published. It is titled, The Long Night Moon, published by Fireside Publications, FL.
Writing is one of the joys of life, as is traveling, where I get inspiration at each glance. I can be so enchanted with the oddity of a situation that it takes over the mind and I am compelled to write. I love the drafting of a poem, the thread that carries me to the last line, and then to the last word. I write for the pleasure of story telling, for the joy of creating people who take on the breath of life, and inevitably they become family, real as in flesh. I write because it expands my life, transport me to places only in print; but with words, I'm there watching the ocean, feasting at a banquet, feeling the Brazilian sun warm on my skin....ahh, yes!
