Hello Writers and Readers!
I am the author of twelve books and have more than thirty years experience as a writing teacher, editor, and manuscript consultant.
My latest book, Oscar of Between: A Memoir of Identity and Ideas, was published in April 2016 to critical acclaim. In a review of Oscar, the Winnipeg Free Press calls me a “luminous writer.” Lambda Literary describes the book as: “vibrant and pulsating with life.”
