: About Me

I live in Salisbury, North Carolina, and love books. I am a passionate Celtophile, and have done research on the Celts-archeology, stories, myths and legends, and have been working on learning at least one Celtic tongue: Irish. I have collected books on the subject, and try to keep abreast of any new discoveries concerning the topic.

I also love Celtic music, and have at least a dozen CDs with my favorite musicians. It is one way to travel, by listening!

I collect books: mysteries(Jeffrey Deaver, especially), sf/fantasy novels, some romance novels, heroic fiction, and the above-mentioned books on the Celts. Suffice tosay, I am addicted to reading!

I am well traveled, speak Portuguese, Spanish, and some French. I love visiting an area and living as a local-it's far better than being a tourist.

I hope to publish here, and build up a body of work I can be proud of. I look forward to this challenge.

Life is suffused with questions, with worries, with doubts. In just about every aspect of society, from the moment we are aware of ourselves as individuals, questions emerge, as to who we are and how we figure in the scheme of things, both in everyday life and in the total picture. Do our lives have meaning? Do we have a special connection with the world, or is it all random moments experienced and lived in the now, without any true meaning? Such questions are the basis of a continual search that inevitably each person faces in the course of life. From questions on the ethics involving dai...
