I’m a writer, poet and blogger, whose fascination with the natural world also inspires my paintings, mosaics and photography.

Writer and Poet …

My enduring passion for creative expression naturally evolved to include the literary arts and most recently, poetry, the breathless pause in the midst of my artistic adventures.  I am drawn to and energized by writing and poetry.  One of my short stories, Four Forty Four, was included in the WCDR Wicked Words anthology.  SmoKe and SaLt:  A Journal of Lyrical Art published my poem The Frayed Map.

When writing I slip willingly into a brightly lit and infinite time orientation, as if there was no such thing as time. I recently sold my business to pursue these crazymakers full time.

Blogger …

I feel a strong connection to this dynamic community … the blogosphere fascinates, entertains and educates.  Promoting their interests and successes to my readers gives me great  joy (check out the Sites I Like! and News). I write on my blog as often as I have something newsy or interesting to say.  Another source of pleasure in blogging comes from encouraging closet writers to join me here.

Lover of Books …

My passion for books began when I mastered phonetics!  Once I was able to link letters to words, then sentences, paragraphs, pages and stories, I pounced greedily into books.  A really good day is a stormy one when, trapped indoors, I can disappear into a book.  Check out my bookshelf!

Currently Reading …

I’m travelling right now and the current Kindle book I’m enjoying is the 2010 Booker Prize winning, “The Finkler Question: A Novel” by Howard Jacobson.
