I am 72 years young having been retired for 12+ years working hard for NY state. I have been editing mostly fiction for 15+ years and loving it. My first novel, Bristlecone Magic, was published in 2021, a short story that magically morphed into 68K words. My next book, awaiting illustration, is entlted The Wisdom of a Six-Year-Old. I have written a few poems but I really enjoy writing short stories. My Prima Dreams was my first go at flash fiction. My next attempt, a tad longer, was Steampunk Tea Served Cold. Three of my stories are ongoing: A Cup of Joe, Ah...Hello? and The Eltz Castle Treasure.
