I live in Frederick, Maryland in a condo with two cats, Georgie and Prince. "The Tattooed Mermaid "is my first novel. I like to write mystery, science fiction and fantasy. My stories have been published in a variety of on-line and print anthologies, including "mysterical-e, "Every Day Fiction," and my short story, "Coin Karma" was a featured podcast with the "Liars League" in London. I retired from teaching college English and Creative Writing in 2020 and moved from Florida to Maryland. I know, most people go the other way, but I really missed having a change of season. I'm looking forward to getting to know Frederick, now that our year of isolation seems to be close to over.
