Excuse Me, I’m Writing is a place for sharing my writing, for folks to react to it, and for me to bask in the warm approval of happy readers — or duck and cover. Whichever.
The feminist product of a Southern Baptist creationist and a liberal social worker, I gratefully inherited the requisite sense of humor to survive family debates and the imagination to avoid them. Born in Maryland, housed on and off in New Jersey and now accommodated by California, I’ve taught adults with disabilities to live independently, written and produced documentaries, and consulted to political campaigns. I chaired the California NOW PAC and was deposed for my failure to be gay or of color. As the Sunday political columnist at the San Diego North County Times, I won awards, a Pulitzer Prize nomination, a fan club and death threats from angry readers — but, hey, the sales department loved me. I conceived, led the creation of and edited an award-winning healthcare consumer magazine, IG Living, while barely surviving a stint as a corporate VP of marcomm. Long ago, I was a second place winner of the Chiron Review annual poetry contest; I birthed, nurtured and killed off The Bridge, an erstwhile literary journal; and, more recently, I’ve been published in the San Diego Poetry Annual. So today, I write — yippee!
