I Tried. Can't Do It. Brain's Empty.

I Entered A Poem In A Poetry Contest Around 1987, And The Poem Won And I Received $1,000 For It. That Made Me Realize That Maybe What I Was Writing Was Worth Reading To People. After That, For Some Reason, I Turned To Novels And I've Written Mainly Novels Ever Since.

I Enjoy Receiving And Giving Realistic Fiction, For Both Children And Adults, With Strong Characters, Beautiful Language, And Humane Visions.

Relationships With Parents, Grandparents, Friends, And Siblings Were Important To Me When I Was Young And Have Remained So Throughout My Life. Our Relationships With Other People Both Shape And Reflect Who We Are. These Relationships Are Infinitely Fascinating To Explore!

You Know, Maybe That's All Anybody Wants, Is To Be Useful. And Have Somebody Else Notice It.
