Hey

Have you hugged your ginger today?
Maybe you don’t have a ginger. If you don’t, I am here for you. Send me a virtual hug. With the best of emojis, I will return the embrace: rosy-colored cheeks, heart-shaped eyes, a big ole red heart.
At any rate, welcome to this website about me. Me! Me! Me! If you think that sounds self-centered, I’m with you. But it’s the best way I know to tell you about my work: my blog, my forthcoming books, my poetry. In fact, a website is pretty much required as a writer, though Dorothy Parker and Eudora Welty didn’t have this option. Humph.
So, here we go.
Yes, I am a ginger, a fact with which I still wrangle. Sometimes that idea—or freckle, if you will—wriggles its way into my writing. Other than that, I am an author, a poet, and an immigration attorney. I know, I know. That last part seems incongruous. I can assure you it’s not. Immigrants, beautiful souls all, too migrate into my material. Yeah, I just did that. Yeah, it was a shameless and silly use of a double entendre. But I can be that too. Silly.
Please enter and enjoy.
And…go find a real live, bona fide,  and, of course, freckled, ginger to whom you can dispense a ginormous hug.
Love you all.
