- Bio
- The young adults in the banner are my children. A Houstonian, I have spent my career as a full-time educator and writer. A mother and wife, a reader and music lover, I mostly write about what I care about. That includes poetryand short stories. This year I'm interested in politics, another hurricane, the economy, survival, cooking, philosophy. Rene, my husband, my son Jared, and my daughter Genevieve, are my favorite subjects. And yes, I love to tell stories about them and everything else I encounter on my journey.
