So many stories, so little time. When reading them you can plainly see who was one of my influences- see if you can guess ... yes, Rod Serling for one. So, come join me and let me know what you think. Psych major (need I say more;-)) I am the first writer in my family and the written word has always fascinated me. First in the form of plays, then stories and also articles and then to the book I co-authored with husband, Jim (Gonder Ceramic Arts-a comprehensive guide). Years ago I loved reading Robert Ruark, Heinlein, Asimov, Sinclair Lewis, Steinbeck and many more. I was a very quiet young girl, so perhaps the written word was a way for me to be heard. A family tragedy that happened when I was a teen and haunted me, started me writing again. I love science fiction, though I have written a non-fiction anthology.  Can't miss my biggest influence in writing though: with fiction, it is Rod Serling and non-fiction- the crazy characters I have known in life. I am now working on my fiction novel.

Co-authoring a pottery guide book. Getting my children's story published in "Celebrating Greyhounds" quarterly. Having an article published in PA NOW mag years ago. Now having articles published in Antique papers, including a lead article.

Helping many people years ago as a social worker.

Becoming an appraiser and studying color gemology was fun.

Had lead article in Antique Trader, plus had another published and will have one published in Antique Week.
