Writer’s bio
I
am the wife of a retired architect who now creates beautiful "architectural" ceramic art pieces, and the mother of two sons, both rock stars in their own fields. Oh, and two Tuxedo cats who don't give a damn about anything. I am a native California girl raised in North Hollywood and now live a stone's throw from the beach, if you can throw five miles, in Laguna Woods, California.
