I've been a teacher, tutor, librarian, apartment manager, bookkeeper, model, and a sales clerk. I love the beach, cats, dogs, birds, and rock n roll. I'm a writer--researcher, a writer of fiction, nonfiction, academia, poetry, and politics. Also into political journalism and consulting. I'm a freelance writer. Writing is my passion. Reviews appreciated. I'm active on Bluesky as Patricearial.bsky.social
