I am a retired teacher, enjoying everything that retirement means. In addition, I have been active in the LGBTQ community since I was four years old and marched my Ken doll with all his little Ken accouterments to the big metal trash can in the yard. Yes, I dumped Ken, along with said accouterments, into the can and slammed the lid on. My two Barbie dolls lived happily ever after. In the early 80’s, I helped form a Gay and Lesbian theatre company in Baltimore.
After finishing college, I settled in Houston, Texas and taught for several districts. Now living in New Mexico, I am honored to have work featured in the following collections:
As the World Burns: Writers and Artists Reflect on a World Gone Mad.
Through The Looking Glass: Reflecting on Madness and Chaos Within.
The Pinecone Review: Be Proud with Pride Edition and Survival
Edition.
Women Speak: The Women of Appalachia Project.
SETU International Magazine
Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women.
Hidden in Childhood: A Poetry Anthology.
Unhoused: Yearning for Home
My debut collection, The Gift of Mercy.

Hah! I dismembered my Ken doll at around the same age. Then my little bestie & I dropped him piece by piece into the sewer. Barbie never seemed to notice he was gone…
