: About Me

I'm a Philadelphia native and I've been writing short stories for the last ten years at least. I have been published in online magazines and have done several band interviews for Origivation.com. I've also written copy for websites, ghosted a bunch of articles on teleconferencing and other business topics. Like everyone else I have several novels in different states of completion and my dream is to eventually get a zillion novels published like Steven King or Anne McCaffrey.

I have an associates degree in art which means I am dirt poor. All things crafty interest me from latch hook to knitting to the fact that I still can't crochet. I paint, draw and sculpt, the latter I do horribly. I'm interested in everything except sports and Country Music.

The ploy almost worked as she turned and found not another hotbed of gray dirty walls but a copier machine and a forlorn recycling bucket. Hope renewed she accidentally made a left and found herself once more in the maze. She bit a nail n...
