About Me

I am co-author of the memoir, DIVIDED MINDS: Twin Sisters and Their Journey through Schizophrenia, and I will be having a book of poetry published in February 2009 (WE MAD CLIMB CRAZY LADDERS.) Am looking forward to doing poetry readings/presentations again with respect to the new book, even though we continue to speak about the first as well. 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 blog, but have gotten bogged down in that endeavor. Meanwhile, I continue to make wire and beaded jewelry. Also large and small papier mache sculptures, which are on display at http://artid.com/turtleworks . 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.
