Background
Information
I'm retired, and, as my brother says, "living in paradise" - Ocala, FL with my husband Frank and mother, Clarice.; daughters - Andrea and Ariel continue to live in the Northeast.
Formerly a credentialed, professional public employee in health information management, coding and compliance from Connecticut, I was also actively involved with my professional association and a union officer/activist until retirement.
I have never met any dark chocolate frosting, cookies, ice cream or candy and romance novels that I didn't love.
Writing has also been at the back of my mind, so when attending our "2007" Family Reunion"I offered to write the family's history which was my first non-professional publication. I joined a small critique group "Write Corner" and had a number of books published. I also write poetry.
I look forward to spreading my creative writing wings wherever they may fly.
Accomplishments
