THE WRITTEN WORD

I am a free-lance writer formerly based in France and now in Florida.  I believe that the absurdity of life always comes crashing down on reality in different forms of punishment and reward.  “Look in the mirror” is my motto and you will discover what is right, but especially what is wrong.
