What is the aim or goal of your writing: I believe that reading and writing are fundamental human gifts that build knowledge and kindle the imagination. Along with this belief, there are two primary reasons I write. First, the work of writing provides me with a living. Second, the enjoyment of writing keeps me alive. I would write even if I were never to be published or earn recognition or money. To me writing is like a toy that is ever-changing and never loses its attraction. To what do I attribute my success? Success is relative, so I will define "success" as penetrating the barrier to publication. Success in this regard requires basic skills and imagination in combination with dogged determination and persistence.

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

Inquiries about workshop, readings and presentations are invited. I do all I can to advocate reading and writing. Currently I offer a broad range of presentations and workshops, including teacher in-service on creativity and writing, author visits to promote reading and writing, etc.
