65 years old, written for most of my life, though have never really been taught. All my work is instinctive and inspirational. I have been published widely. Managed to appear in every edition of the late and much lamented La Fenetra, also Voices From The Web and countless Forward press anthologies, plus Reach Mag' and the Dawn Treader. I'm just preparing to have my own collection of Poetry and Prose published very soon and hoping to have it ready by early in the new year.
