I wonder why I have a deep sense of being of many cultures, why my body moves like I know dance, that my hair seems to be that of the Native Americans, the blackness of charcoal, the curls of Europe. I wonder why I hurt with each loss of every person. A search of my DNA only shows one world the physical. Where have I been before I existed. What memories are in my cells that want to come out.

I was Chuck and Dee's first employee in 1980. I worked there for about four years, as I had a bookstore in Puerto Rico. They hired me when they wanted to go on a vacation. I ran it alone at that time. I was a book buyer for children's books as well.

Horror struck as the edge of my skirt entwined in the spokes of my bike. As the cloth slipped away, my bare bottom exposed, I rode on with my head held high- ignoring the fact that I never wore undies.

I leave my first days thoughts in a note to my husband each morning before I leave at 5am. Often these notes become chapter heads or points I use with my plots.

My husband came down with cancer last year. I wrote and now I have a new book in the works. Cocoon of Cancer: An Invitation to Love Deeply.
It is an inspirational book for caregivers, recently diagnosed patients with cancer, for staff, and any one who needs to heal.

A moment in time suddenly becomes of importance and the idea stays with me until a story results.

Color of Lies, stemmed from my first date with my husband. I ranted that I didn't like lies of any color. Bingo --- I heard a title.
Later when I was at an air show of WWII airplanes, a woman wheeled herself down the tarmac, in her wheelchair, dressed in a white linen dress, and white gloves. I wondered what lies put her there.
