In short

  • Don't claim fame, but have earned local respect for my singing and theater pursuits. Have acted in and sang in countless musical productions, choral works, and have been a featured soloist in many a church service, party, or other thankless job :)

    Currently working on a book manuscript, a semi-autobiographical novel about growing up with mental illness. Unlike many other novels out there of the same type, I choose not to focus on the decline of my sanity, but rather on how I regained it.

    Have written several poems that have been accepted into poetry anthologies, but nothing that has really been able to pay any bills. Not sure if I'd like to be a writer, singer, actress, or historian for chosen career, but why leave any option untried?
