I am long married. I am intentionally vague as to my gender above because I enjoy seeing the assumptions that people make about me. The viewpoints on the verse are intentionally around 50% male 50% female. It was good enough for Shakespeare...
My initial training was in accounting, my degree is in library science, and I fix computer programs for a living. Confusing enough? The short stories posted and upcoming were nearly all done for sale to the men's magazines and didn't sell.
The poems were written at odd moments and for special occasions such as wedding anniversaries. Some poems were worked out while walking down the street; one nasty one wrote itself while I was hurrying (write me if you are curious, it's too nasty to go here.) All of my published books are non-fiction.
