About Me

  • I was “born in the City of Angels, raised on Walt Disney, and inspired by the dreams of both.” It seems like I should add something about being “conceived in San Francisco,” but that doesn’t sound as poetic.

  • I'm new here on Redroom,

    I'm new here on Redroom, too. Nice blog post - fun to share your writing day. Good luck with it all.
  • I'm a new convert since (a)

    I'm a new convert since (a) I got a Kindle and (b) My novel is now on Kindle. I do think that change is afloat and will open new opportunities for writers and readers. It's exciting news.
  • Independently published - I
