I am a writer/poet/homemaker. I am mother to two boys, one disabled, one gifted; who almost keep me too busy to read. I write for my own pleasure. I love the sound of putting the right words together.

my favorite authors are Pablo Neruda, Kurt Vonnegut, John Irving and Jane Austen. I am very worried that we are not raising the next generation to be readers; even my gifted son does not like to read very much. I believe that reading is exercise for the brain; to keep it sharp and limber.
