- Brief Biography (Authors Required - Others, optional)
- I became a Journalist for 25 years, inspired by tragedy in my life. I chose to write as a catharsis for my grief.
I was a staff writer, penning commentary, news, analysis and interviews for the prestigious, award-winning bi-weekly newspaper, The Staten Island Register. I wrote for the large local newspaper, The Staten Island Advance, which published all my slice of life humor, pathos and commentary--serving a community of 4-500,000 people. I wrote my first horror story and was published first time out in The Princeton Womens' Magazine of Princeton, NJ. The first short story of our lives was published first time out too, in Victimology: an International Journal. I wrote short stories for The Bronxville Womens' Magazine, in Bronxville, NY and also for Writer Digest School Newletters. I had many stories published in Skyline Magazine both in e-zine and print, along with poems in their sister magazines and won several contests on line. . . .AND THE WHIPOORWILL SANG, a memoir, is my first book, released on September 2, 2007. I am curently writing two children's books and co-writing a sci-fi YA fiction with my talented 11 year-old grandson.
I recently got the MADD endorsement for my book, and at least 13 High School libraries in three major cities are ordering the book for their shelves--one requesting my book as required reading for their students, from 15 yrs and up. I've hosted a few aol chats and guested on many more. I do, l book signings, including Borders and Barnes&Noble, plus book fairs and restaurant signings. My book sells best at community affairs such as the Red Hat ladies, with all their charitable works, The Grandmother Club, Professional Bussness Women of New York and others.

I am presently working on an as yet un-named movie script. .

...AND WE THANK THEE
Spicy, aromatic whiffs of pumpkin pie, plum pudding, and candied sweet potatoes mingle with and enhance the hearty, mouth-watering smell of roasted, stuffed turkeys. Thanksgiving, a harvest festival thanking the Creator for a bountiful year, has remained virtually unchanged since the pilgrims in Massachusetts shared that first feast with Chief Massoit and some of his braves.
Although Governor William Bradford, of the Plymouth Colony issued the first…

"In the beginning was the word . . ."
John 1:1 King James Bible
Remember the childhood taunt, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never harm me?" This is not true . The "Pen is mightier than the sword," and the complexity of language plays upon everyday living. It can be subtle,(my favorite) sarcastic, ironic, menacing, hateful, loving, instructive; the list is long. Ultimately words hurt much more than stones, because the scars from hurtful words… Continue
