 Writing is a fairly new endeavor for me,but reading has long been a passion of mine. Robert Frost's 'The Road Less Traveled' has been my adopted anthem since high school and my list of favorites authors and poets is lengthy. Being visually challenged has offered me a somewhat different perspective of life and some of this is reflected in my writing. My family has been a steadfast means of support as I journey upon this literary path. Recently widowed, I live in southern Louisiana, near the bayou community where I was born and raised, with my teenaged son, Brett. My two older children, Robin and Joe, have blessed me with four wonderful grandchildren who bring me the most joy imaginable I enjoy reading and writing, gardening, Creole cooking, and being snubbed by several aloof felines. But mostly, I simply enjoy life and the treasures I have found along the way.
