My web site is dedicated to the art of writing and story telling. And, by association, theatre arts.  While I am very excited about my site’s updated look,  I have discovered a new passion; blogging.

And that’s where I will work hard to keep engaging your interest and  share valuable topics, with you, about writing.  I don’t profess to know all there is to know about what makes a good writer.  The art of writing is a long process and in my experience has taken me decades.  I am still learning every day.

Once a month a best-selling author will share their writing world with us in an interview. Don't miss it!

So please visit me often and if you haven’t already, take a minute and sign up to receive my blog.  It comes to you in an email so it is easy to read and delete.

With my new on-line store it will be 'one-stop shopping'! You will also be able to read about the things I’m working on, upcoming events, a gallery of photos of  my art, and my career in the theatre.  Some visitors may know about my scripts but not my novels, poetry, or my children’s  story books. It’s all right here!

AVAILABLE NOW!  My newest work of fiction, "WILD VIOLETS" 

Violet (The Guyer Girls) has grown into a beautiful woman with children of her own. She has left her small home town in the Pacific Northwest to pursue a successful basketball career and with her earnings, she bought a bar and grill. She is a ‘flapper’ in every sense of the word; working all day and playing all night. While her teenage daughter raises her seven year old son, Violet is out on the town with her latest man de’jour. Dressed in her signature red dress, she is the toast of the town and owner of a speakeasy where she hosts the cream of San Francisco’s society, city politicians, bishops, and Hollywood celebrities.

But there is an underbelly of corruption, grifters, the mob, excess, and neglect in Violet’s life.

The MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW  ******  'The World of Haiku is a striking collection of original poetry; each poem consists of three haiku verses. Bold, pen-and-ink artwork embellishes each brief poem. The World of Haiku embodies the spirit of encompassing timeless observations in a fleeting moment of verse, and is a delightful treasure for any who enjoy contemplative haiku poetry.' ~~~Paul T. Vogel,Reviewer
