ABOUT ME:

I am co-author of the memoir, DIVIDED MINDS: Twin Sisters and Their Journey through Schizophrenia (St martins' press, 2005), and author of the volume of poems, WE MAD CLIMB CRAZY LADDERS (cavankerry press 2009). I started a new blog at http:// wagblog.wordpress.com with links to another all-schizophrenia blog where I was trying and still try to reconstruct the old sz.com blog, but have gotten bogged down in that endeavor. Meanwhile, I continue to make large and small papier mache sculptures, which are on display at http://artid.com/turtleworks while I am also doing other "flat" artwork, seen at my photobucket site (see link on website). My cat, Eemie, likes to sleep on my computer while I am using it, but has to make do with snoozing on my legs while I sleep in my recliner at night. We face the world and my life with paranoid schizophrenia/bipolar together and I'm happy to say. we are currently doing well.
