About
Who am I you ask? Well, I am a poet and originally from Avon, NY. I live in Indiana now with my husband. I'm an older person, not quite as old as dirt. As far back as I can remember, I have written poetry, and with every experience in life, I've found inspiration. (I really just write what the voices in my head tell me to write.) Never having been good at playing the part of "starving artist", I've had many careers, and I just recently retired from being an over-the-road truck driver with my husband Dave. For the past 13 years it has provided amazing opportunities for inspiration. I am now able to sit at home and "eat bon-bons and watch soap operas" as I always dreamed. (Actually I have never had a bon-bon and I hate soap operas.) I have published 5 of my own poetry books; Voices In My Head, They Won't Shut Up, Rhymes Through Time, Words On The Wind and 365. My children's book Caesar and the Bluebells has just been republished with new illustrations! More of my poetry has appeared in anthologies as well as several books by fellow authors.
