Biographie de l'auteur

I was born in Manhattan, New York in 1948. I lived at FDR Drive until the ripe old age of five years old. Mostly, because my parents were seeing the apartments as becoming a 'drug culture of crime'. Mom and Dad didn't want me or my siblings exposed to this chaos. Our family moved to Eatontown, New Jersey in 1955.I think I enjoyed writing and using my imagination a lot. I used to enjoy thinking up stories out of my head...I remember a psychologist at school giving me pictures to explain, and telling her what it meant. And I remember giving her a story, in which it seemed like I went on forever explaining them. Even the psychologist I think was amazed at my imagination. I think the heavens were preparing me for a career in children's writing. I began writing after graduate school, when I signed up to do a year in AmeriCorpsVISTA. I began writing short, descriptive essays. Even a BA in Sociology and a MPA in Health Service Administration didn't deter me in pursuing my passion for writing; it was at this point, I decided to take courses at Institute of Children's Literature in Connecticut. These courses taught me the freedom to express myself. Discovering my "voice" in writing began to shape me as a writer.I believe "Growing Pains are universal." We might be as unique as Human beings; but we still go through the same experiences of childhood, puberty, adult...AND MIDDLE AGE as I'm discovering. I hope to bring this out in all my stories.I live the life of a Single Person in Northglenn, Colorado. I am realizing this is where I belong at present. I miss many things in New York City, and Central New Jersey...ocean, pizza, Italian and Jewish Deli, LIBERAL Democrats who CARE! I DO PLAN on returning to the East in two years. My heart yearns to go HOME!
