As a writer,  I am perhaps best known for poetry and creative non-fiction on a wide variety of subjects, especially inspiration and spirituality, but also politics, literature and humor.  My essays, stories and columns and poetry have appeared online and in print through the years.  Most of my recent work is  poetry, especially the Japanese short forms, including haiku and senryu, haibun, tanka, and haiga(artwork or photography combined with haiku). 

Though I have written poetry since I was fifteen and have published some of it through the years,  I have concentrated on publishing more since 2008, including appearances in Contemporary Haibun Online, Haibun Today, Simply Haiku, Magnapoets and Moonset.  I  have also started a poetry "blog" hosted by Google.  Just follow this link:  A Place for Haibun & Haiku.

I am also a photographer and take photos both as an artist and a journalist using pictures to accent my articles and stories.  I have also formally exhibited these images  several times.

Try writing a 50,000 word novel each November during National Novel Writing Month!  Yes!  If I can do it,  you can too!  Several hundred (fast approaching a thousand) future novelists do it every year.
