I am a 60 something Californian, former world traveler of the back packing variety, a Buddhist, a writer, photographer, and teacher for the past 23 years in both the local community college and adult school. I honed my writing skills with a series of published short stories and non-fiction articles and have been pleased to see my work included in three short story anthologies. This is my first novel. What fun it was to write! If you enjoy it, stay tuned for the sequel!
