About Me	I am a late-in-life professional writer, but I’ve been writing throughout my entire life. When I retired several years ago I found myself with the time and personal permission to engage a profession which had been a siren call to me. I am a late-in-life professional writer, but I’ve been writing throughout my entire life. Even as a child I wrote poems and stories and shared them with my family and my friends. Throughout my public school education I wrote incessantly. It wasn’t always remarkable or even note-worthy, but it was a comfortable and expressive way to communicate my thoughts.

Sometimes I’m amazed at what I’ve written…and sometimes I ask myself, “What is that all about?” I write before six o’clock in the morning, so I can’t be held responsible for absolute clarity! I live in Rhode Island, where every turn in every road exposes a beauty beyond comparison. This city of Providence is an amazing mosaic of people and a microcosm of our nation. It is a city where the arts flourish and the culture is rich. Amazing colleges and universities set the tone for life in this city. Live theater and creative film settings are found throughout the community. And there are sports to keep me grounded. You may know that it is a city filled with some of the best restaurants in the East. What a pl...(read more)
