One-Line Bio
On THIS blogsite, my persona is that of the owner and director of the Writing Salon (aka the Writing Salon "Mistress"), which I founded in January of 1999.
Biography
I've been a writer, editor and teacher for 30 years. My poetry, prose, erotica, articles and essays have appeared in print and online periodicals such as the San Francisco Chronicle, Salon.com, The Sun, Five Fingers Review, Quarterly West, Western Humanities Review, Libido, babycenter.com, and Conversely.com, as well as anthologies (The Ecstatic Moment, Yellow Silk, Ripe Fruit, Best Women’s Erotica 2003, Nesting: It’s a Chick Thing), and on stage (Lilith Theater). I have a masters in creative writing with an emphasis in poetry, have taught many classes in personal essay writing, and have spent the last year leading "Round Robin" classes (described on The Writing Salon website).
Oh, and I'm new to blogging, so please cut me some slack here. I'll probably change my approach a zillion times until I hit my stride and come up with something I like.
