Author's Bio

So often I am told to hold no regrets but how can I not? Most times I swoop up this pen I regret that I must. And that is just the genesis. Ann Sexton says to write is to invade your own privacy. I regret that I can’t say it better, but still I scrawl. Listen in on yourself before you eavesdrop today is what I’ve got.
