I began writing in 2007 at the age of sixty. I have self-published three of my manuscripts in multiple editions, the latest editions I have made into a collection titled, THE SCATTERED SEEDS TALES FROM THE GREAT MELTING POT. I like to write stories about immigrant American families and describe their lives before and after coming to America. They are literary historical American fictions depicting the lives of some of the many diverse groups of people who have left their homelands and come to America seeking a new life. The reasons for coming to America are as varied as the ethnic backgrounds they bring with them, hence the title "the Great Melting Pot". My stories are set in various times in history and reflect my great love of history, especially the history of my own country, America . . . one that I personally want never to leave!
