About Me

Being a native New Yorker, I lived in a city my entire life (until 2003), that had a mixture of all different countries together. If I wanted to go to Asia, I could just hop a subway to Flushing. Russia...Brighten Beach Brooklyn, Greece is Astoria, Poland is Greenpoint. The city is vibrant with many expats. I think you get what I mean. It was an exciting place to get to know so many different cultures and have a variety of people from all over the world whom I can call friends. I have traveled for many years abroad. Of all my travels the image I always remember was when I first visited Spain in 1970. The first glimpse I caught from above was surprising, It looked very dry, mostly brown earth and I couldn't find the Mediterranean. I was relieved, the sea was not only there, but it was beautiful as well. So beautiful, that I now reside and write there. My writing has been published in Europe and the U.S.Indulge in the mystical, meditative and surreal aspects of the world...Whether you are a season traveler or not; when you come to Europe for the first time, BE WARNED: these countries are addicting!!

Music:

THE TYPES OF MUSIC I ENJOY US EVERYTHING FROM CLASSICAL TO NEW AGE. MY FAVORITES AT THE MOMENT (IN TIME OUR TASTES AND VIEWS CHANGE) ARE JOSEPHINE BAKER AND TONY BENNETT. I ADMIRE BOTH OF THEM FOR THEIR TALENT AND OTHER REASONS. JOESPHINE BAKER BECAUSE SHE TOOK A CHANCE AND BECAME ACCEPTED IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. AND TONY BENNETT HAVING A RESURGENCE FOR A NEW GENERATION AS A TOP JAZZ SINGER.

Movies:

MOVIES CAN RUN THE GAMUT FROM JOHN CASSAVETTES TO WOODY ALLEN...FROM THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG TO THE MARX BROTHERS NIGHT AT THE OPERA...FROM BILL HOLDEN TO MATT DAMON. MOVIES ARE GREAT ESCAPISM BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE LIVE THEATER. TO PARA-PHRASE A LINE FROM ALL ABOUT EVE - IT IS ALL THEATER TO SOMEONE (MOVIES, CIRCUS, PUPPET SHOWS, ETC.)

Books:

My Favorites Are By: Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Capote, and any biography. I believe reading about others makes you more understanding, tolerant and knowledgeable.

Heroes:

The Hero in my life is my partner, best friend and husband. He has given me the confidence to live out my dreams. And also our son, who has conquered his tough entrance into the world!!!!..
