My novel, OLD MUSIC FOR NEW PEOPLE, was published in December 2021, published by The Story Plant. Short stories and flash fiction published with numerous literary publications both online and in print. Adopted at 9 weeks. Raised well by university professors. Brother is international consultant. Sister is anthropologist living in Australia. Have loved baseball and writing since 1966. Went to Reed College (1976-1980). Graduated with degree in anthropology. 30+ years as environmental consultant. Married, divorced. Married again (in love now for over 30 years). Part-time freelance writer through it all. Discovered I'm mixed race—African and Irish—at the age of 45. My three adult sons still find me somewhat amusing.
