I have been writing throughout my life (although the quality has, I hope, improved over time). In the past, I have published a number of business articles in Supervisor’s Bulletin, and several trade publications in the credit union, security, theater and video industries among others. For many years, poetry was my preferred mode of expression but more recently, I have been working on non-fiction essays and fictional short stories. I have also been working on a non-fiction book for young adult women. I hope to gain feedback and direction by being part of RedBubble. It is very important for me to grow.
