When reality looks too ugly, fantasize.

I got a PBS mind in an MTV world.

Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime, I fell in Love in the Library once upon a time.

Instinct taught me 20 years ago to pace a song or a concert performance. That translates into pacing a story, pleasing a reading audience.

If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.

I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then.

I have always looked at life as a voyage, mostly wonderful, sometimes frightening. In my family and friends I have discovered treasure more valuable than gold.
