You could call me a “late bloomer” “writingwise”. I began work on my first book just before I retired from a couple of different careers. I published that book, a memoir entitled “Running Away From the Circus” in 2021 and am now working on an historical novel set in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Texas Hill Country during the 1940’s. I am a “rainbird” dividing my time between Tucson Arizona and the Pacific Northwest.
