Four collections of her poetry from Taurean Horn Press and a book of essays from Regent Press are in print. She has taught in the OLLI, CS and UB programs on college campuses.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>On to Our Interview!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: Tell us who you are and what inspires you to write.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: In addition to poetry, I write flash fiction, essays and very short stage plays, with five books in print from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taurean Horn Press<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regent Press<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am the facilitator for a weekly writers group at Mechanics Institute Library. My reviews of films and cultural events appear at <a href=\"http:\/\/starkinsider.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">StarkInsider<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I&#8217;m a budding nature photographer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How did you get to this place in your life? Share your story!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I wandered lonely as a cloud for years, but eventually heard the Muse yelling at me and began writing, after several brilliant careers too numerous to mention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What are you most passionate about?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Passionate about individual healing &#8212; both spiritual and emotional &#8212; so that together we may save our planet from ourselves. There is still time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your writing process, routine, and\/or rituals around your writing?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Being alert to what is around me, what people say and do as I wander about the city, is important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I take mental note and sometimes physical notes. From those inspirations I create.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes I see a documentary or read an article which sets ideas into motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What are a few challenges you faced in creating, marketing, or publishing your creative work? And your solutions to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: So many challenges when one does not know what one does not know. I struck out on my own 20+ years ago and learned as I went. How to get into print and how to market involved a lot of research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today there is so much info available including workshops and consultants and books.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating involved attending a hundred open mics and listening with an open mind and asking questions and sharing my work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What do you wish you had known before you started writing fiction?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Wish I had known not to limit my imagination, and not to worry about form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with an idea, then an outline, then character development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sky is the limit from there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What&#8217;s next for you in your creative work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Finding time to create another hybrid, like my book <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Word Dancing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This book involves poems, essays and my photographs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hard part always is choosing a title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Is there anything else you wished I&#8217;d asked?
