WRITE OR DIE!
 
Each writer has a different approach to the writing craft. For me, the creative process is as essential as taking my next breath. I write to understand, exploring life's mandala through the perspectives of "reality" and "imagination."
    
At ages three and four, I traced the chrome letters on my family's Philco refrigerator with my forefinger, eager to learn to read. Though quick with the alphabet, I puzzled over sounding out "the" in first grade. With dogged determination, I blasted past the obstacles of ADD and became an avid reader and writer.
 
I began my literary career writing bad poetry in Des Moines, Iowa at age ten. After working as a grocery clerk, nursing assistant and home health aide, a variety of clerical and secretarial positions, city bus driver, museum aide, and substitute teacher, all while attending classes and raising a family, fiddling with the art of writing looked like a suitable diversion.
 
I found it enchanting to scribble away on a magical forested ridge above Cardigan Bay in beautiful County Ceredigion while earning an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (2010).
 
Prior to landing in the surburban wilds near Los Angeles, I lived in a star-studded, high desert valley in the central Arizona highlands, where I earned a BA in Anthropology with emphasis in Museum Studies from Prescott College (1999).
 
Where to next? Wherever lovely Gaia leads me!
