Life Is Like A Bowl Of Spaghetti. Every Once In A While, You Get A Meatball.

One Thing I'm Interested In Is What Shapes Us: The People? The Place Where We Live? It's Both Of Those And More. That's What I Keep Coming Back To.

I Enjoy Receiving And Giving Realistic Fiction, For Both Children And Adults, With Strong Characters, Beautiful Language, And Humane Visions.

I Am Drawn To The Ways In Which We Are Shaped By People And By Place.

I Entered A Poem In A Poetry Contest Around 1987, And The Poem Won And I Received $1,000 For It. That Made Me Realize That Maybe What I Was Writing Was Worth Reading To People. After That, For Some Reason, I Turned To Novels And I've Written Mainly Novels Ever Since.
