About

Wow... what DO I write? That's a good question. I'm a little bit poet, a little bit short story writer with huge plans to write something longer. I love to write bout places I've been and things I've photographed . I also like to write about food- cooking it, eating it, food history - because I'm a food nerd. (The term "Foodie" is terribly over used...) but I'm a sucker for anything invloving actual research- that's the former journalist in me talking. Mostly though, my stories and poems come from images I can't seem to get out of my head... Looking forward to meeting like minded writers! Drop a note to say hi!! :) P.S. *HUGE HUGZ* to the people I already know from the flip side... ;) You know who you are :)
