I’m a writer. I’m your friend. Not your everyday kind. But one that started more than 30 years ago by asking alot of why questions. I started to write at 16 and I have to tell you that my sister Patti was a big influence. For Patti, writing, drawing and painting were as easy as breathing. My experience was not the same. But I started writing, recording my thoughts in composition books in 1979. All those places are warm, cozy blankets to wrap up in. They are places to take with you. My poetry covers the globe and a range of experiences. From Cheyenne Wyoming to Okinawa Japan and places in between. Mountaintop to valley -literally. The writing tells you many stories I probably wouldn’t say outloud. So in a sense, this is me exposed – letting my heart show and sharing it with you in a personal way. Every line is connected to something that happened. I grew up in Corpus Christi Texas in 1959 although it doesn’t feel like home at all. I joined the Air Force in 1978 and went to F.E. Warren AFB. Since then, I’ve travelled and grown. Here, I’ll share those stories. If you listen really close, you’ll hear the quiet messages, the stop and hesitation of life, a pause, reconsideration and pondering. My writing isn’t complex or out of norm. I keep it simple and real. My books offer a unique place. What if you could carry that safe, recharge place with you – where ever you are? That’s is this writing. A safe place. I invite you to join me in this place.
