What is the aim or goal of your writing: I attribute having found this field of work that is so natural and fulfilling to me to a few teachers from elementary school through college who encouraged my writing. In my working life I have been fortunate to work with publishers and editors who have had faith in my talents and I've learned a great deal from working closely on other people's writing. In my writing I strive to create a unique experience for the reader. Carefully chosen and placed words add depth and can convey even more than what is being written abou on the surface.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
The author will answer letters from students and teachers.
