My Bio
I am a writer of fiction, poetry and non-fiction. Mostly I am a green freak, living my beliefs as best I can, and always challenging myself to go one better. In 2007, for example, I gave up my vehicle, and have sworn to never purchase another auto again. I did, however, recently purchase a used bicycle for summer getting around!
