About me

I've recently moved from the frozen North to the sodden Northwest. At least I still have a cat named Sunny! My daughter and I write while perched in trees with spotted owls. I find new inspiration in mud puddles.

Briefly me

My passion is ...

the inner life of moss

I know too much about ...

My parents always told me ...

marry rich

My childhood ambition ...

was to play baseball

My favorite memory ...

is a house surrounded by alley cats

Why I write ...

is because I am socially retarded

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

is biographies of the eccentric, old French movies, early Bob Dylan

My first job ...

was a feeder at a nursing home

My best moment ...

is whenever I find the right words

My inspiration ...

my parents, daughter, and deceased guinea pig
