from The House Was Quiet, But the Mind Was Anxious.

Writing across genres in what I find most pressing at the time, my books move from poetry to prose and back again. As an educator and writing instructor, I am always interested in sharing what I have learned and remain open to learning something new every day. Under the Genre heading above, you will find my books in fiction, poetry, memoir, and nonfiction texts. Click on a book image to be taken to a site for purchasing.
