I was born in the Bronx, worked with the homeless and mentally handicapped most of my career. When I retired I decided to write to pass the hours, first as a hobby, over time it became a passion.

Right now I am dabbling and forming short novellas and full length fantasy novels, uncompleted works. I have one completed, Message to My Children published at Smashwords and Amazon.com.

Lately everyday thoughts popped into my head and I am writing or promoting other authors, artists and readers at my shared page on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Messag... and on my blogs.

I graduated from college with a Psychology and Human Services Associates degree and in the past was a writer for vital causes and an advocate for the underdog.

Susanna’s Quotes

“When the flames of life are gnawing away at your butt, run faster, quicker, and harder than you've ever run before, because I guarantee it that life will condition you, harder than any trainer ever will.
When you state to yourself with the utter most believe, “I will achieve this,” than you are on the path, and this is when life throws obstacles left, right, straight on and which other way, but keep going. Because you will make it”

“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

Hi Rob, it is a highlight of a day when someone offers to assist others and exchange, or just pay forward. I see some blog, links and others that can be promoted on my page of shared authors, artists and charities, if they like. They can also connect for a live chat interview and planned a Facebook event, for their books and services. All for free, no motives, just paying forward. Check out https://www.facebook.com/pages/Messag..., https://www.facebook.com/groups/shahs... https://www.facebook.com/groups/10881... a retweet service, and a secret, not a secret, but there is a St. Patrick's Day book give away, maybe time to promote your books, not sure, https://www.facebook.com/events/29809... and much more, so thank you Roy for brightening many weekend.

I went back and a very thoughtful librarian answered my response so quickly, and updated the authors and artists of the anthology. If I could post a heart, flower or an angel to the sweet person, I would. Thank you and Bless You.

My heart and soul as well as many others cried on 12/14/12 for all the angels who were taken away by a brutal senseless tragedy in Newtown, Ct. Some wonderful authors and artists came together to bare their souls and express their anguish in their own poignant style for the departed. This book is available here on Goodreads.com and Amazon.com.
It is a gift to aid the school funds through the United Way, so please take a moment and preview, share like and tag the book and light the path to recovery and let the angels sing. Stop the violence by taking action.
