Besides writing, I enjoy photography & I'm passionate about animal welfare & rescue. I'm a food activist (Say "NO" to GMOs!), I'm into environmental and conservation issues, historic and ecological preservation, and humanitarian causes. I believe strongly in the power of what happens from one person acting and human kindness.

Some (Ok, several. LOL) of my favorite writers are: Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Jodi Picoult, Kent Haruf, Barbara Kingsolver, Billie Letts, Alice Walker, Sue Miller, Laura Moriart, Catherine Ryan Hyde, and Lisa Tucker.
