"Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all -well, yes and no. Read Forbidden Loves' view of this age old dilemma."

~ Rita Mae Brown, author of eleven novels, poet
and two time Emmy nominee.

What was love like in the era before annulments, reliable contraceptives and acceptance of homosexuality?

Forbidden Loves, Paris Between the Wars visits an era of idealism and innovation on all levels when Paris was the cultural capital of the Western World. Politics, religion, social mores and a special time in history (1927-1939) determine the fate of a young Catholic socialite from Washington, DC as she tries to find out if it is only after great sorrow that love can come again.

Well researched, Forbidden Loves includes Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic and the huge crowds that awaited him at Le Bouget Aeroport; Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, Joseph Campbell and Hemingway in their own words; the Surrealist movement; lady pilots Bessie Coleman and Amelia Earhart; a train ride to Reno; Black Thursday; the ravages from the Great War and omens of a new war brewing, and much more.

This is a story replete with historical detail, universal conflict, and sensational romance and could easily be adapted as a screenplay.

Myth, Magic & Metaphor takes the reader on a journey into the heart of creativity.

The little tome attempts to awaken the aesthetic sense, the creative muse who lurks within us all.

Today, in a cognitive/technical society, people have become more and more removed from the instinctive aspect of the psyche. My task as author is to enhance the creative spirit through myth and metaphor, to restore the sense of wonder adults experienced as children. My method is multisensory, interdisciplinary, and holistic. There are no limitations to what thoughts, ideas, observations, or research could and might be used to stimulate the creative process. The ultimate tool is the human heart (from the French,coeur, meaning courage). The medium is words. Philosophy, art, music, and linguistics are some of the disciplines used as stimulation.

As Phyllis Whitney says, learn to "think with a pencil." What comes out on paper may be the most wonderful gift you have ever received. And, just think, dear reader, you gave it to yourself!

"Universe to each must be all that is, including me."

~ Buckminster Fuller

Animals, unhindered by human society's inhibitions and regulations, and nature, adhering to its own rules and inclinations, can teach us, but only if we are willing to listen.

Messages from Nature is a book of short stories about animals (including a butterfly) and trials at sea where the force of nature is the sea.

The stories were published by various magazines over the past 14 years.

"People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors."

~ Edmund Burke (1729-1797)

La Jolla, A Celebration of Its Past is a rich and varied collection of vignettes and essays about historic La Jolla. Since this author believes that "history is someone else’s point of view", the emphasis is on the extraordinary people who helped build and shape this special place.

La Jolla is more than a town, more than just a pretty seaside place in the sun. There is a spirit about this place. The essence of La Jolla comes not only from the sea, the surf, the sun, the cliffs, and the caves, but also from its unique and bountiful history which includes very special citizens.
