I
was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and now live in a
middle-class suburban neighborhood in the Chicago area. I
enjoy
writing short stories and poetry. I have self-published a book of my
poetry, an experience I will always remember. I am now retired from
the corporate world and have time to enjoy things like writing,
gardening, reading, traveling, exercise, yoga and, of course, quality
time with my husband, children and grandchildren. I hope to
stay healthy, so I can continue to enjoy life.
