What Others Are Saying

Humor with heart...an honest, rock-your-mind snapshot of life.

Yogi Dre, Oregon

This is phenomenal, your are as funny with the written word as I am sure you are in person.

Randy Wells, Arkansas

Your innocence is real; both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I love how you add in US history, including the incredibly important info on how our government treated Indians. Those stories do not get told often enough. Your method is educational without detracting from the rich personal stories. Love it!

Laura Goldfarb, San Francisco

...Readers love it when a writer bares their soul and exposes their silly foibles (which of course we ALL have)—we don’t feel so ridiculous when we read about your mistakes and mis-adventures. Good on ya!
Young Hutchison, Orange County

I don't have kids but I do know what it feels like to be lonely and think NOW WHAT? So my favorite story is on page 139 paperback version.

'There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. Being lonely is the absence of the other, a child, a husband, a lover. It is a painful longing. Being alone is the presence of oneself. I had not yet made that crossing.'

Linda Simitz-Meckes, San Francisco
