I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

BOOM! CRACK!

A bon-shaking thunder boomer crashed through here last night. The light show to the north was spectacular. The whole “end-of-the-world” spectacle was over in about an hour.

In the midst of it was the LOUDEST crash of thunder I think we’ve ever heard since we’ve lived here.

Then, of course, there was the calm after the storm.
