I have been writing since high school. I have to write. My mother is a poet and artist. She influenced her children to be creative. Arts and crafts and writing. I have one book of poetry published in 2008. It is called "Homeless in Petaluma'. I am working on 5 more books. One is called "Breast Cancer is Not a One Act Play", the second is called "Off The Street" with poetry, art, stories, and photos about and by the homeless. I recently left my job to take care of myMom and return to Real Estate. I worked as a Family Advocate for a Tribe and I also worked over 13 years with the homeless.
