Hello.

I'm the author of, Buddy Bloom Wildflower (A Tale of Struggle and Celebration).

Written for children ages 8 to 80, it's my biography in kid form.

Buddy is a flower seed in a package with other seeds waiting to be planted. They are all looking forward to fresh air, gentle rain, and sunshine to help them grow.

What they get is a raging storm that rips open the package and scatters the seeds in all directions.

Buddy is alone, scared, and uncertain what to do.

With help from George the Ant, Sadie the Butterfly, and Ken the Turtle, Buddy learns the value of struggle, the joy of friendship, and the celebration of life.”

In Ohio, after the age of sixty, you can take classes free at any State University. Forty years after graduating, I returned to my Alma Mater to enjoy classes in acting, painting, history, and creative writing where I put the finishing touches on Buddy Bloom Wildflower.

I hope you're encouraged by this story – all the best.
