Hello!
Let's Get Acquainted
Let's just say I've had a varied career. I started as an English teacher (like so many others.) Then I became a newspaper editor (loved it and learned a lot.) That morphed into a series of marketing jobs (loved each more than the last, and learned even more.) And then I bought a store (loved the customers and the mind-stretch, but my feet hated it. ) Through it all, i've been writing -- sometimes for my enjoyment, more often for pay. Now I freelance, which offers the best of all four: I set my hours, and play with words, sometimes to make a point, sometimes to make you smile. And my feet are much happier.
All of the posts on this site have appeared in publications. Some came out of my experiences, some were influenced by what was happening around me or in the world at large. And there are a few that either tell something of my family history or about my travels.
Enjoy! And feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear from you.
