Background
Information
I have written most of my life; starting with poetry, expanding to short stories and now novels. I owned/edited/publlished a small press literary magazine in the '80's called MIDGE. I ran Write Around the Block last year for poetry and short stories and now I'm proud to announce that "Slivers of Reality," my first novel is now in print.
My dreams are coming true and I'm so thankful for those that have stood by me.
