Writers are born, crushed and formed in life's crucible. Those brave enough to share the scars pick up a pen and begin.

As a former editor and publisher of a monthly newspaper, I am a journalist by trade, but a poet at heart. I am a picky reader and an honest critic. Most of us have had life smack us in the face, tickle us until we are crying laughing, and choked our throats with deep emotion. Those are the stories I strive to write and the stories I prefer to read. I make you a promise to post my most honestly written stories, and if I fail to live up to my own standards, I expect you to tell me where they were lacking -where I failed to take you into the place and time I have attempted to create. And I promise to be your best cheerleader by telling you how you moved me or left me lacking.

I have a BA in English writing; I am a published journalist, poet and have been a lobbyist for a major medical non-profit. I began writing at age 11 and have never stopped. I am working on a memoir and an autobiography.

Thank you for being my world-wide writing group!
