About Me
I was a very tired professor,but now I'm an upbeat freelance writer. I live with a wonderful Ragdoll cat named Darwin and see the love of my life, Bob, a few times a week, which will soon change for the better. :)
I'm always looking for new ideas (along with decent paying work) for business writing and creative non-fiction.
I absolutely love Colorado and the mountains. Coming from the ocean communities, it's quite a change!

Least Favorite Word:
screwI think it is one of the degrading slang terms for "making love," and shows a lack of vocabulary. I would have put another word which I hate worse, but I hate it so much, I couldn't bear to write it...sigh.
Favorite Quote:
"The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong."
