What’s been happening:

I have taught high school English, creative writing & journalism for 31 years & have now been retired to 16 years. During that time I wrote & published a novel about the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980, NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY, & two children's books, for which I also did 75 watercolor illustrations, TOMMY'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS & TOMMY MEETS MUFFY FROM MANHATTAN. I live in central New York with my husband, Mel, & our two dogs, Muffy & Habiibi. In our retirement, we have traveled the world, mostly on Crystal Cruises, seeing the Caribbean, the South Pacific, Asia, South America, the Middle East & India.
