I've been writing creatively since a teacher encouraged me in High School. It's never been more than a hobby. Since I favor erotica, I've had few opportunities to share my stories.

I consider my life to be charmed, full of rich and rewarding experiences. I'm a bit of a hedonist, so I embrace the pleasures that come my way.

Sailing:

 I started sailing in the 60s and am an experienced instructor. I’ve sailed everything from eight-foot catboats to ninety-foot yawls, including schooners, ketches, cutters, and sloops. I’ve also sailed a twin-hulled Hawaiian canoe off Hilo. I’ve sailed the Channel Islands of Southern California, the SF Bay area, the Pacific Northwest, the Alaskan Inside Passage, the South Pacific, both coasts of Florida, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and Lake Superior. I was a volunteer crew member on the Los Angeles Maritime Institute brigantine tall ships Irving and Exy Johnson.

My love of sailing historical fiction is reflected in my stories: “The Governor's Daughter,” “Cat o Nine Tails,” and “Sailing Date.”
