Thank-you for visiting my writing site. I hope you enjoy reading excerpts of my stories and poems, comments about my work, and my personal profile as a writer. I have been writing since an early age and have written professionally for many years in business and promotion. I believe good writing is the mark of civilization, and good stories make us human. I have been asked questions about the characters in my work, and I consider it a heartfelt compliment when my readers ask, 'who are they?'
The truth is, they are me, they are people I have known, and mostly they are who they are. As Tori observes in my novel, Wings of a Fly, "She would always be Tori. And Max would always be Max."
