It was quite an adventure moving from a highly populated town near the ocean to a small desert town, Trona, California. After graduation, her parents moved to Southern California where she attended two community colleges, San Bernardino Valley College and Victor Valley Junior College. At age fifty, she began writing poetry and taught herself to do her own illustrations in order to publish her own books. A few years later, she began to write short stories, but her favorite is still poetry. Her favorite poems are love poems and poems of lost love. She also enjoys a little humor in her poetry. She began to enter contests where she placed several short stories after she turned sixty and were published. Her writing style is free verse, rhyming, and prose. Her poems tell stories or express deep emotions. If you read her work, you will find that it has great versatility. She probably has a poem about everything you can think of, ranging from children’s stories to those for old age.
Her experiences during her married life and having children gave her a great deal of struggles and heartbreak. She suffered great struggles when her second daughter was born with hydrocephalus and Dandywalker cyst. Life has been a great giver of writing material. Life is a gift that keeps on giving. Treasure it.visualizza meno
