Originally from a small town in New England, I've lived in Sonoma County, California, for 38 years. At the age of seven I started writing poems and stories. After multiple tragedies I took a writing hiatus for several years. I delved into the healing waters of art before the magic of language lured me home. After joining a local writer's group ten years ago I've published several pieces in local periodicals and finished a book-length memoir.
