: About Me

After 27 years as a Manager in the public sector, my technical and corporate writing rekindled an interest in writing for pleasure and pure entertainment. Story telling brings back a sense of wonder lost to most of us when we "grow up" and get busy with being busy. I hope to hone my writing skills enough so that those who read what I write can lose themselves, for at least a moment, in an adventure that's wild and maybe, just maybe, a little bit wicked.

My passion is ...

living the evolving dream.

I know too much about ...

wasting time.

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

My favorite memory ...

Happily, many to choose from, but holding my daughter for the first time, tops them all.

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

whatever grabs my fancy.

My first job ...

summer camp counsellor.

My best moment ...

When I can't hold in my laughter any longer and it bursts out of me like Old Faithful.

My inspiration ...

life.

Late Sunday morning I'll drag myself out of bed Turn my pockets inside out and pray inside my head That I'd find enough to pay the bills in the tray Maybe buy me a movie and stay i...
