About Me
I am a retired corporate trainer and marketing writer. I continue the pleasure of writing as the Travel and Features Editor of the Willits Nickel & Dime, available online at www.thenickelanddime.com.
My particular interests are travel and the arts. As any writer does, I read a lot, almost indiscriminately. You never know what jewels you may discover in unexpected places. I carry my Kindle with me everywhere, so I always have something of interest to read when I have a spare few moments. My favorite place to be is on a cruise ship. My favorite place to be on the ship is the library.
