I'm a teacher, writer, parent and facilitator of Naperville Writers Group, an organization that's been in existence some 15 years. This is my second book with number three half done, number four 75% done and number five hovering in my brain. I like anchovies, fried liver and popcorn. I hate hypocricy and conceit. I'm a born cheapskate and refuse to buy overpriced anything. I'm an intellectual snob, blind to any faults except the inability to speak or write well.
