Poet. Author. Artisan Jeweler. Traveler. Not always in that order. My first is a regency romance based on Jane Austen's book "Persuasion" called "The Curate's Brother". My second book is "The Planets: a scifaiku poetry collection". I write short stories of science fiction, fantasy and creative non-fiction. I won a 2015 Quill Award for "Best Editor of a Newsletter" for being a co-writer of the monthly FSFS Newsletter. I've been recognized with an Honorable Mention from the Writers of the Future Contest in 2017.
