In the face of comments about Cincinnati’s conservatism, she would fiercely defend her hometown for its relatively safe environment; the beautiful hills; the lovely winding Ohio River; the city’s history as a safe haven for slaves braving the Underground Railroad to “freedom”; and ironically, the city’s warm Southern flavor. This Cincinnatian has been writing since she was about seven years old and says, “I’d jot down little stories about my family and playmates on anything I could find to write on! Old brown paper grocery sacks, the white card stock separating the pairs of nylon stockings in my mother’s lingerie drawer, the backs of discarded wrapping paper --- any blank paper space!” And that’s been her habit since the early 1950’s, to the extent that her home, her car, and every old purse and briefcase hold scraps of paper bearing storylines, poems, and book titles. Prior to this collection, her most recent projects include a novel, “Is There A Panther in the House” (1998) , and a collection of short stories, “Tales from Ms. Baby” (2001) --- the former now “languishing on the shelf” and the latter still awaiting publication.ver menos
