About this ebook
Ever have trouble remembering a password for a computer program? Or trying to balance a checkbook? The first section of this fun/serious/futuristic book of poetry offers up a number of humorous topics, then moves easily into serious topics, such as domestic violence, illness, even death. Finally, the poems gravitate into a bleak, almost apocalyptic future, focused on topics such as overdependence on technology and concerns for destruction of human life. Several are dedicated to others, including one devoted to the Challenger explosion. Some have been published earlier in anthologies and cover a span of perhaps twenty-five years in the author's life.

I have written most of my life. While still a pre-schooler, I once got in trouble for scribbling in the back of a book. I continued writing throughout school, working on high school and college newspapers, and eventually getting a BA in journalism and creative writing. I have worked as a newspaper writer and editor, as well as a variety of other jobs, such as a substitute teacher, college instructor, and even an Avon saleslady. Currently I hold two master degrees and am a Licensed Professional Counseler and Licensed Addictions Counselor, and have worked in a private prison. Currently I work for a community health clinic as a Behavioral Health Therapist. I love to read, favorites being Tony Hillerman, Henning Mankill and Patrick Taylor, as well as Steve Barry. I love music, current favorites being Celtic Thunder and Josh Groban. My pride and joy are my four children and five grandchildren. I reside in Southeast Colorado, where I continue to write. My current burning desire is a trip to Ireland. Special thank you to my sister, Sandy, for encouraging me to follow her path to Smashwords.
