I'm the featured author for the National Writers Series: National Writers Series

How did you become a writer?  "I was a voracious reader and a wordsmith. At an early age, I assiduously looked up any word I didn’t know which greatly slowed my reading rate but gave me a love for the precision and subtlety of words. Over the years I gained an intimate and revealing understanding of the importance of words, the role words play in communication, and how people use the subtleties of words to their advantage."
