Poet. Author. Artisan Jeweler. Traveler. Not always in that order. My first published book on Amazon is a regency romance based on Jane Austen's book "Persuasion" and I have three sequels planned. I write short stories of science fiction, fantasy and creative non-fiction. I am also something of a poet...I write Scifaiku, science fiction haiku poetry. 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.
