Welcome

Allow me to introduce myself.  I grew up in Los Angeles, (San Fernando Valley).  I moved to Seattle (Alki Point) and edited travel and health magazines.  I moved to the east San Francisco Bay Area and worked as an editor at the schools of Engineering and Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley.  I taught Fourth and Fifth grades and Kindergarten in public elementary schools in the East Bay (Hayward, Richmond and El Cerrito).  For eleven years, I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii.  I now find a beach town on the south central California coast my home. 

Speaking literarily, I remember writing a story in sixth grade about a ghost in my bedroom closet.  In college, I majored in English literature and journalism.  In my work life, I have done many kinds of writing.  And I have published short stories, novellas, novels, essays, nonfiction, and a book on Buddhism for children.  

I write to express what is in my mind, heart and soul, from my experience, insight, and imagination.  I write to communicate.  I write to connect.  I hope to connect with you.
