Been writing since I was a child.   Tell you how long it's been, hafta killya.   
Writing has always been my first love, but I benefitted tremendously from
decades as a speech and language pathologist specializing in aphasia 
due to brain injury or stroke and developmental disabilities.  Working
with students with autism enabled me to write a biography  special
ed publisher Diverse City Press published, but I primarily write fiction
and poetry.  Recent credits include a co-authored poetry book Old 
Mountain Press published, and short nonfiction in Persimmon and a Thin
Line anthology.  I probably have 500 print and internet credits, but then I am,
as my mother enjoyed shouting, "one year younger'n God!"

I belong to  NC Poetry Society,  Creative Thinkers International,  Friday
Noon Poets,  the domestic violence targeting organization,  Angels That Care, 
and a tiny critique group, Carrboro Poetica.  My husband (a former architect and regional
planner and ace woodworker) and I are blessed with four beautiful granddaughers
and four g r e a t grandchildren.  I hope to write 'til I drop.
