: About Me

Besides the occasional article I write here, I also write songs, poetry, short stories and novels. Some have been published, some are works in progress. Writing is something I do, and have done since childhood. I love it. My mother recently passed away and, per her request, I am compiling her memories she shared with me into a written work. She led a fascinating life and I feel privileged to write for her. As a writer, I enjoy reading stories and articles, but each must be well-written from the first paragraph as time for reading is extremely limited in my case.

I am also a professional artist. I sketch and paint. The picture in my image display is a work of whimsy as I altered on my computer an oil painting I did some years ago. There are works of mine, oil paintings in many cases, all over the country, abroad, and on the web. Painting is time consuming, but something I really enjoy. I hope my paintings are enjoyed by those who spend their resources on them. I also enjoy photography, especially tiny things others might not notice.

There is much that I could say about me, but I would rather make myself known through my articles, stories, books and artwork.

My passion is ...

being the best I can be at what I do.

I know too much about ...

There isn't anything I feel answers this question

My parents always told me ...

That I am different from other people.

My childhood ambition ...

was to do things others had not done.

My favorite memory ...

is one I keep for myself and my family alone.

Why I write ...

Because I am a writer. It's what I do.

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

This changes from moment to moment. It doesn't make a difference.

My first job ...

was babysitting my baby brother.

My best moment ...

is when I remember what is most important in life.

My inspiration ...

is Love and laughter

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Where evil lurks

Where Evil Lurks It’s in his eyes that show his heart It’s in his mind that schemes to hurt It’s in his smile that evil lurks. It’s in his words that seek to lure It’s in his touch that seeks to flirt It’s in his kiss that evil lurks. It’s at the bar with sweetened drink It’s by the pool with knowing wink It’s evil lurking where no one thinks. It’s in the trickster’s candied hand It’s in the stranger's lost puppy tale It’s in the secret games from hell. It’s in the dark out on the street It’s in the l...
