I live on the central coast of California about 200 miles south of San Francisco.

I enjoy digital photography,​ travel, pen palling, snorkeling, gardening, camping, museums, blogging. I'm hoping to finish a book I started, a medical memoir.

I enjoyed the opportunity to work with famous writers at the Maui Writers retreat and convention, also went on an Alaskan writers cruise.
