I write because I have something to discover, explore, or share. I write because I love language. I write to touch people in meaningful ways, to give readers the opportunity to bring something of themselves to my work and take away something that hopefully makes a difference.

Originally from NYC, by the mid 1970’s my journey unexpectedly led me to South Florida where I was a leather artisan, freelance editor, dance writer for several publications including The Fort Lauderdale News/Sun Sentinel, and had my first book published. Later, during my years in Chapel Hill, NC, I belonged to a fine craft cooperative, became a real estate agent, taught a Dance Appreciation Video Series, and began seriously writing poetry and fiction. (Can you tell I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up?) In 1991 I moved to beautiful Asheville, NC, where I lived for thirty-three years continuing to enjoy an eclectic creative life as writer, editor, jewelry designer and website designer/owner of Serendipity Digital Design.

In November of 2024, however, my personal and spiritual journey (and Hurricane Helene) led me to Longmont, CO. where writing continues to be my primary creative expression. To see what I’m up to, click on my blog LUMINATIONS: a glimpse of my authentic life, in the menu above.
