The book will combine some of her poetry, stories from my mom, and some poetry I’ve written from the female’s point of view (that’s been fun trying to channel!). It will be three generations worth of voices in one book when we finish it and I have to admit that we’re running a good bit behind because of health issues my mom has had (she’s much better now)."

I write about young people growing up and falling in love. My stories are sometimes funny and sometimes sad, but they are always real. I've lived in California all my life. I love to travel. Last summer, I spent a week in Alaska. I've been as far away from home as Hong Kong and Tokyo. Many of my stories involve musicians. As a teen, I played trombone in my high school band, and I have always enjoyed singing. Like my hero Thomas, I enjoy taking photographs. I dabble in photography, but writing is my passion. I'm married, with two daughters who are growing up fast. When they were little, I read aloud to them. I started writing about teens and children in part so that I could share my writing with them. They are still my two biggest fans. *** Harold Pinter interview (includes many things beyond my application): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH96tuRA3L0 Music: mr. miyagi by bluewednesday, all credits go the artist.
