| Introduction | I started writing when I was a kid and finally got my own room (oldest of 5 kids) and a little desk. Eventually I survived the 60's and started writing in earnest, as they say - novels being my first love but I also love to write about people, above all artists. I have written several books about women who were jazz musicians. I also write travel articles from time to time, stuff that's off the beaten t rack. |
