Author Description

Many artists often decry their early work. They may either try to destroy it or spend valuable time agonizing over it. I'm among the latter and have been thinking about a revised edition of It's Mother's Day for many years. When Cyberwit Press offered to publish the work I was extremely pleased. In 1996, at that particular juncture in my life, the publication of the first edition represented an expansion in my tone, vision and voice. I had recently left San Francisco, my home for 20 years, and was caring for my mother in her waning years. The 'writer's block' - Read: personal upheaval that had inhibited my commitment to writing for many years seemed to have passed. In its place was born a determination to begin again.
