I was born in Watertown, NY. Traveled the east coast, southern U.S. and midwest. I acquired a diploma in nursing as a LPN in 1977. In 1981 I interviewed and moved to the Maryland/Washington, D.C. area. In 2005 I met my partner Joyce and moved to the beach in Delaware. I write poetry felt from the heart. Some say it's more of the dark side of love, but it is what comes out. I also dabble in short stories and have a novel in progress that has floated around in my head for years.
