I got my BA in Philosophy in 1973, having worked my way through college tutoring Natural Deductive Logic. I am a former Star Trek "fan writer", with several stories and a novella published in the ST fanzine "Elysia", from 1986 to 1991. My Tribute to Challenger, "Red Sky in Mourning Glory" was also published there, and in the Company Newsletter at Bank of America #791.

I have been a tutor; school bus driver; instructional aide for aphasic children; Loan Service Clerk; gas station manager; inventory auditor; punch press operator; forklift driver; migrant worker; day laborer at a recycling yard; carnival rider operator; electrical-harness tester; caretaker; convenience store asst. manager; and many more jobs I can't remember. I am married, and my husband and I have experienced homelessness several times in the last decade. Now I am working full-time (my husband is disabled), and we have three domains, several websites and blogs, and have started our own online businesses.

We have formed our own Writer's Club, called SciFiFantaClub.

We are actively seeking members, and invite all to join.
