Writing When Old and Not Yet Discovered

Writing When Old and Not Yet Discovered

At age 70, I found myself with three unpublished manuscripts in a desk drawer. I have had a good career in academia, teaching at one of the California state universities and, for a time, in the Caribbean. I also raised four kids, much of the time (after first a divorce and then early widowhood) on my own. I’ve written newspaper columns, essays, and editorials, and carefully edited other people’s words. But my passion, unswerving and constant, has been fiction.
