I live in Massachusetts and have been writing for eighteen years. I have published a number of poems and short stories. My writing interests include contemporary fiction, retro fiction, and rhymed metered poetry. I have lived in Scotland and spent time in Poland. Some of my writing includes Polish or Scottish themes. I have a master’s degree in biology and have taught biology, especially human biology, at the college level. Besides writing, my interests include swimming, health and nutrition, music, and restoring my 1930s home.
