About Me

OK, this is the hardest part. I’m not all that fond of talking about myself, because I think you can learn most of the interesting things about me from my writing—from my books, my posts on various forums, and what I write here, but I suppose a few hard facts are called for.

I am 65 years old, and proud to be a coot! I live in California, the land of fruits and nuts. I am both.

My house is a mountain cabin in a redwood forest.
I always wanted a yard with a water feature, and now I have one, a stream that has not yet threatened to meander through my living room. I do not consider my leaky roof a water feature.

My neighbors are other recluses like myself, plus an assortment of wildlife , who are less reclusive than they used to be since I often leave food out for them.

I live with Oliver , a companion animal whom I hesitate to call a pet. He came in out of the cold one day and took up residence.

I’m sure I’ll think of a few more things to say about myself. Or you could ask me questions.

I’m always happy to hear from anyone who runs across this page. You can e-mail me at: cmwilson@whenwomenwerewarriors.com

Or you could just post a comment on my BLOG.
