A late bloomer, I began writing seriously in my fifties. After several essays and short memoir pieces were published I was nominated in 2003 for a Pushcart Prize. The essay nominated grew into my first book, "Off Kilter:A Woman's Journey to Peace with Scoliosis Her Mother and Her Polish Heritage," Pearlsong Press, 2008.
I'm on the board of Story Circle Network, www.storycircle.org, assistant editor of their book review site and contributing editor of their journal.
