Bio

I have been fighting cancer for over 30 years now, and am almost 9 years beyond a 6-month, terminal prognosis. Before this became my career, I was/am a clinical psychologist.

I am happily married, for now over 50 years, with 3 children and 7 grandchildren. I still have a life–reading, writing, movies, friends, family.
