BIOGRAPHY I am a Michigan native who has enjoyed reading and writing since 1963. Though I studied medicinal chemistry at the University of Michigan my passion has always been writing.
I had been awarded third place for her nonfiction short story about my grandfather's escape from Poland. Later, rewrote this story and was published in the "Polish American Journal" as ""From the Pages of Grandfather's Life" and has republished it on Amazon.com as a short story. I will be working on making a novella in the near future.
I took creative and journalism courses to help transition to fulfill my dream of becoming a writer. I worked as an intern for Port Huron's 'The Times Herald", and also wrote, edited and did the layout for the Blue Water Multiple Sclerosis newsletter "Thumb Prints."
My passion is teaching sewing to physically and mentally disabled adults.
I also write two blogs promoting my fellow authors.
