I love puzzles and have patented two of them. My written works often involve a mystery to solve, sometimes explicit, sometimes hidden. I have written about 100 poems (one in the shape of a puzzle), 30 short stories, 2 novels, a novelette, and a novela. Laughter is music, and I don't write pure tragedy--my three-act tragedy has many funny lines. I've written 17 plays, total, so far.
