About me

I have been fortunate enough to spend many years overseas in some wonderful, magical places and meeting some extraordinary people. Experiencing the land - its legends, myths, and history deeply inspires me to create stories, some fiction and some non-fiction.

Recent publications include Lavanderia: A Mixture of Women, Wash, and Word, Root Exposure Anthology, Tapestry of Bronze, The Copperfield Review, Moon Drenched Fables, Intravel Mag, Lyrical Passion Poetry. My adaptation of "The Bacchae of Euripides" titled "Revenge and Sorrow in Thebes" recently had its world premiere in Seattle. I am an award winning poet and short fiction writer. My forte is the classical and mythological but I also work with ancient history and sci/fi - fantasy themes.

Thank you for taking the time to read my work.

There are, of course, a number of books written about the heroic acts of women during the conflict. Highways and parks have been named after a handful of them. But I guarantee you that most, if not all of those books are not on the top ten borrowed list at the library. And it is highly probable that the millions of people who travel along those named' highways do not have a clue about the women they are...
