About me

After winning two "Certificate of Excellence" awards from a literary society for my poetry, and being published in six poetic journals in US and Canada, I'm inhaling some confidence in my efforts.

I'm working on the last two chapters of a mystery novel and may post on Helium under "excerpts" at some point....to test the friendly waters here.

I have happily sold a total of 6 articles (not reflected) on updated symbol. It is a great feeling to get an email saying a publisher is interested in purchasing your article!

Best wishes to all!
