|
My affinity with literature and writing started early, continued with a brief career in journalism and evolved into the business arena (in both education and experience). Born in Texas, I migrated to Michigan, California and Washington, getting a broad view of life in these United States, and our rainbow of people and issues. In my thirty years of business leadership, my writing ranged from strategic plans and legal research to marketing campaigns. I taught, lectured and wrote two mini-texts. In recent years, I returned to my roots — to literature and writing. I expanded from nonfiction to fiction, often addressing the western ethos. In 2012, I go home to Texas, to write and to teach.
In order to write about life, first you must live it! _________________________________
