About Me

I've always lived in Texas. I love art, science, and asking questions. I started writing poetry at the age of nine and have kept a journal for 50 years. I published my first essay in 1995. I write true stories about people who lived drunk, crazy, and lost, mostly people in my family tree. I write about anyone who moves me.

I'm currently writing a book that begins with loss and ends with meaning. It's a memoir.

I also write at my personal blog http://wabisabiwords.blogspot.com

Why do you write?

Curiosity fuels my creativity,and I write because I've always written.
