Author's Bio

I write poetry, fiction, commentary, and humor. Often I combine my writing with original art, especially beadwork. In addition to the two older books listed, I have work published in Innisfree, Staccato, New Letters, West Branch, Cottonwood, Hanging Loose and other little magazines. Five Amazon Kindle titles appeared in 2018 and two more have appeared in 2019: Blonde with Fingers; Walking Among the Waves; Judgment Comes; Report to the Air; Rattlesnakes Are Fair; Mikey Works at the Grocery; and Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders & George Armstrong Custer (a reflection on American politics in the Time of Trump).
