My English Major Life

First published at age 10 in American Girl magazine. Recently heard on National Public Radio reading my sonnets “Dumb and Brave” and “I Love the Lincoln Tunnel.” (Read the text of the poems here.) Along the way: poems, plays, essays, and 22 books, including business histories for my beloved company CorporateHistory.net (thriving under new ownership) and the award-winning Perilous Journey of the Donner Party  (Zoom presentation available to schools, museums, and libraries). Rutgers grad. Authors Guild member. Ongoing passions: Broadway musicals, biographies and memoirs, cats, food, Italy, life in New Jersey, competitive Scrabble®, Steely Dan, and sharing my respect for words as a writing teacher and editor.
