About this author

Um, I like cross stitch, baseball, my children and grandkids, but not elevators or laundry. I've been known to run from mayonnaise and I play RPG video games. I don't have a favorite author although I read a lot.


I am THE RELUCTANT PROPHET
a PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK
feeling ON THE EDGE OF GRACE,
sometimes BETRAYED
but always
standing in TRISTAN'S GAP.
I am DON QUIXOTE tilting at windmills
a LADY KNIGHT
in search of PLOT AND STRUCTURE.
I live THE WRITING LIFE because
I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS.

My Book poem. Your turn.
BTW,I wish I could take the credit for this idea. read more »
