Half Mexican, half Mexican't... Or actually, other half German with some Polish, Scots-Irish and Native thrown in for good measure...
Artist and photographer and ancient in this decade's incarnation... 
Previous decades I was a lot more physical as well as a prolific reader and writer. Not to mention husband and father
I wrote like a demon and read like one too... then glorious, unpredictable life decided to derail my forward momentum with a little thing called cancer...
All the while my cataracts worsened, forcing me now to realize I must deal with this in the only way I know how... Head on, and take the bull by the horns...
After my eye sugery I promise to start writing again! In particular I intend to finish several of the stories I started but had allowed fate to interupt. 
One of my favorites was "Iron Planet", my SteamPunk saga. My starcrossed and reluctant hero Ashalynn is very much a loveable underdog many in today's society can relate to.
Another favorite story I was writing, "The Shattered Earth", takes place after a global catastrophe decimates over 90 percent of the worlds population and transmutes the remaining humans into something other entirely.
One of the heroes in this story is half cat and the other is half bird... Talk about an odd couple...
