Welcome to my website! I am in my fourth year teaching at Grasso
now; I am in my third year teaching English. Education is a second career
for me. I worked as a writer and then a publisher for the largest publishing
house in the world (Simon and Schuster) for ten years. Publishing was lots
of fun, and I do love to write...almost as much as I love to read and
analyze good literature. Add a bit of wit and good humor to all of that
intellect and we have a pretty fun class (okay...fun by my standards, which
may be different from yours).
Through literature, I hope to share with you a deeper understanding of
the world around you. From personal relationships to global dynamics,
literature can help deepen your understanding on many levels. I will help
you see the vast differences between cultures as well as the common threads
of human experience.
My mission is to outline for you the author's craft in creating good
literature, and to encourage you to think critically and actively about the
selections that you read.
Finally, I will impress upon you the power and effectiveness of good
writing skills. Capture your ideas, express them on paper, and then polish
them to perfection. That's my mission!
