What is the aim or goal of your writing: After being permanently disabled from a severe electric shock, I found myself with a terribly impaired memory. Determined to fight my way back, I began by writing memory books for my daughters. After two years, I enrolled in correspondence classes. I try to spend time writing every day.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: No

I spend summers in Michigan from March or April to November. I would not mind reading to children during that time.

Donated books to the Authors & Illustrators database project: No
