I have written stories and poetry from a very young age. I majored in English, with a minor in Journalism in college. I wrote a neighborhood newspaper column for the New Orleans Times Picayune Slidell Bureau for 26 years. Writing affords me the deepest form of expression; emotions run so deeply that sometimes actions cannot convey what the written word can. Writing is a pouring out of my soul - something that seems to flow once I get started.
