My Writing Journey
I combine Wit, Grit, and Grace to uplift ‘common good’ in my fiction and non-fiction work. While growing up in New York City, my writing began with top-secret diaries in grade school. Now I write full time in retirement life.
My early career in television journalism involved writing three-minute stories, and corroboration with three sources. As a documentary producer, I tackled topics that remained with me after I shifted from journalism to leadership roles with non-profit groups focused on improving lives.
In 2021, I launched Blooming Good, which features my original flash-fiction stories inspired by goodness and kindness. Subscribe to my website below to get a new story on the first of each month. And, you can check out the archives to read the full collection here.
