About Me	A former finance executive, I have been taking Bay Area writing classes off and on for more than a decade. My short stories and poems have won contests and been published in various literary magazines, including Forum and Synchronized Chaos. My current project is a novel based on my years in a Texas orphanage in the 1950s and '60s. I am drawn to the orphan archetype and my work explores the struggles of abandoned children and honors the heroes who make their isolated journey into adulthood more bearable. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from the extreme treatment at the Home, but thanks to a blend of Eastern and Western philosophies and therapy, the rage evolved into profound feelings of compassion. I raised two wonderful daughters and had a long career in corporate finance, I majored in biology before switching to business. I see the world through the eyes of a naturalist and have a passion for social justice.

Some will be offended where others will be grateful. I share what truth I know, and it's up to people to deal with it in their own way. Concealing truth is almost the same as lying.
