What is the aim or goal of your writing: I write simply because I have to. I attribute my success to never giving up, setting goals, learning the business, making connections, and then simply doing the work, putting words to paper, followed by lots of rewriting, submission, and repeating that process until someone says "yes!"

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