I like to write stories that define and defend contemporary families. You'll meet septuagenarians who find they're never too old to rekindle a relationship, true and tested love between an older woman and a younger man, a fatalistic relationship between a dying man and a woman with the gift of healing, a family kept alive for generations by making their deceased loved ones into gemstones, and whatever else I come up with.
