Ever since I won the Fire Prevention Essay in the Sixth Grade I knew that
writing would become part of my life. But it wasn't until I spent a lifetime
promoting performing artists, introducing the live arts for children, and
also worked as a social worker with the aged, filling out paper after
paper, that I combined my interests. I interviewed many women artists over
85 and wrote a book to honor their artistry and their elderhood.

The result is AGING ARTFULLY: 12 PROFILES OF VISUAL AND PERFORMING WOMEN
ARTISTS 85-105. A 32 minute film, STILL KICKING, was made of six of them,
all over  90, wonderful role models, and living with zest! I like to
present this work and show the film to groups of people, most of them
wanting inspiration to live life to the fullest, and know that the
potential for living creatively well into our nineties and hundreds is a
real possibility.

Having three daughters might seem like reward/trial enough but I have recently chosen to venture into the literary field as well. Having a degree in Finance I have spent my entire career in corporate accounting and finally decided, I just couldn't take it anymore.

I have written my first book, Duncan's Diary, Birth of a Serial Killer. While the book is not what I originally intended, it does hold one's interest effectively throughout. It is more violent and psychologically unnerving than I would have originally anticipated. Since it was written during a tumultuous time in my life, I guess it is nothing more than a reflection of the sadness that was erupting inside. Words are but a window to our inner souls. The interesting question is can we face what we see once it is opened.

Not that I have or do condone any actions that Duncan might have performed. I feel for him as a character and think he would do society service by being locked in a very damp dark jail cell.

Thanks and as always.  Sleep with one eye open. hahahahahaahahah
