Letters from Eleanor Roosevelt is my debut novel. However, I have published nonfiction books and articles in the areas of social justice, human rights, feminism, and LGBTQ issues.

I also gathers stories, allegories, and fables about strong women, social justice and human rights at JustAlchemy.com.

I enjoy reading historical novels, mysteries, fantasy and retold fairy tales. And when I am not writing or curled up with a good book, you can find me kayaking the flat waters of Cape Cod or enjoying a conversation, food, and maybe a glass of wine with friends.

I am an Emeritus faculty member at the School of Social Work at Monmouth University. And I have earned a BA in politics from de Sales University, Center Valley, Pa; an M.S.W. from Marywood University, Scranton, Pa; a Ph.D. in social work from Rutgers, the State University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
