It's my belief that language and literature light the flames that keep the human spirit alive. I hope that in some small way my poetry and prose do the same for you. ​

My Story
A BIT ABOUT ME
Words are everything to me, so much so that I've spent my life learning to use them in six different languages. My passion for words has led me to write down a few of my own and cast them into the wind for others to read. Click on the underlined links below to read—for free—some of my published poetry and prose.

SARAH'S STRIFE
On the brink of the Civil War, Sarah and her slave "family" are forced to migrate from St. Augustine to a sparsely populated region of Florida south of Tampa Bay.
Under a malevolent master, Sarah holds the group of twelve slaves together as matriarch. At war's end, she is separated from her family, but manages to rise above the despair of the Reconstruction period.
Her tenacity shines as a beacon of hope for the generation to follow her into a new life of freedom.
