Irreverent. I went through the fun times of the 1960' and 70's running wild in Venice Beach wearing a Spiro Agnew watch, a suede jacket with fringes, a Master's degree, and a pack of Marlboros. Go figure.

My writing varies in genre, from narrative, to speculative fiction, challenging sacred cows, at times shocking to sensitive minds, (Facts can be so unpleasant). My characters, especially the females, tend to be mouthy. I think of them as fun. For instance, My Cinderella confronts her father, in his face, "Father, why do you not protect me? Why do you run away and leave me to the torment of these awful women?" Later, Cindy packs her bags, takes her dad's carriage, and all hell breaks loose when she arrives at the palace.

I live in the foothills of the Tennessee mountains with my cat, a wood stove and internet. My two grown children are doing well, happy and thriving on the west coast.
