Writing
healing fiction that makes people laugh
while they are changing their lives.
Author, Seeker,Teacher
Anything
work doing is worth overdoing.
Are you overdone yet?"
I
began writing when I could hold a piece of chalk and scribble my name--although
I sometimes mistook "Chocolate" for "Charlotte"
on the sign at the drug store ice cream counter.
When
my teacher let me into the fiction room at the school library, I discovered
Louisa Alcott and Robert Heinlein, an odd marriage of the minds. These
two authors, along with many others, have had the most influence on
my desire to share my point of view with the world and to explore how
the world might be made better.
Having
spent my youth teaching English in high schools and junior colleges,
I have had a few publications, most recently two SF story cycles of
six pieces in a collection Port Nowhere. I won an Eppie for my poems
in an anthology for Children, The Thing in the Tub. My other credits
include "Fairy Frogmother at Les Bonnes Fees, two short stories
at SteelCaves.com, an article in Circle Sanctuary, magazine, and a meditation
in the Upper Room.
Moving
beyond the first half century of my life, I am revising a fantasy novel,
and have begun plotting a series of stories in a shared universe. I
want to explore the clashes in societies between an engineered society
and a lawless anarchy.
I
bring to any project a number of experiences, including work as a technical
writer, gasket inspector, cloth store associate, girl Friday, and telephone
psychic.
I
have finished grad school online, a new MA in Humanities: Mythology
& Education, which required semi-annual trips to California, giving
me more perspective on my Southern heritage. I met and worked with a
dozen of the most wonderful women--and Barry--that I have ever met.
GO JAGS!.
I study
mythology and psychology to deepen my work with themes from ancient
sources. They don't even laugh at my drawl...at least not more than
once.
Sharing
perspectives with people from across the country gives me time to delve
into the cultural notions that are as invisible to us as water is to
fish!
