I teach human biology at a small Catholic college and sing in the college choir. I live in Massachusetts. I have also lived in New York State, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Scotland, and Poland. I have done biomedical research at military institutes and have extensive experience in nursing education. I enjoy refinishing furniture, studying Polish culture and language, swimming, and sailing. I write primarily 20th-century historical fiction and occasionally contemporary fiction and poetry. In addition to nine Challenge entries in Editor's Choice, I have published one poem and three short stories in Mused Literary Review.
