I was born in Boston in 1954. My mother was a Civil Rights activist and a teacher. She passed away in 1998. My father was an Army intel op in the Second World War. My parents were remarkable people.
I have been writing since I was very young. I have been involved in politics, the civil rights movement, and the anti-war movement since I was a child. I was educated at Dartmouth College, Middlebury College & Montserrat College.
