What is the aim or goal of your writing: I'm not a procrastinator, but now that I'm semi-retired I do enjoy the luxury of not facing deadlines with most of my writing projects. While I greatly enjoy writing, I'm more concerned now with doing things which I hope will make a difference in lives. That's why I devote several hours a week to tutoring immigrants who are adapting to a new language and culture.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes

Yes, though I don't consider myself a great speaker. Reading or discussions would be okay, particularly if they focus on involvement with refugees which has been my major interest for the past 20 some years.
