About Me

Writer and artist in training, I'm fulfilling my dream of living as creatively as I possibly can. I've self-published four books and am working on two more at this time, one a collection of short stories, one a novel.

I like to travel and do photography.

I've been retired since 2010, and have enjoyed learning to use the internet and social media.

I'm married and have three adult children. I'm also raising my grandson. He's eight now, and I've had him since he was born. Raising a second 'family' at my age is daunting. My three children were girls. Raising a boy is a different experience. But being the kind of kid he is, wonderful, really, has made it rewarding.

I've been writing fiction off and on since I was a teenager. I took up painting several years ago, and enjoy it immensely. So far most of my paintings are in acrylic. I mainly paint abstracts. I'm constantly experimenting and coming up with new ideas and subject matter.

There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do all that I want to do. Sometimes I have trouble deciding what I want to do next. But I keep working, because I enjoy it.
