1. Why sonnets?
Two reasons: I'm a lifelong actress and have enjoyed many years of stage, television and film work. You may (or may not) remember me from shows like Rich Man, Poor Man, Knots Landing, The Tony Randay show, Crazy Like A Fox or films including All the President's Men, The In-Laws, The Frisco Kid.

How it all started - I was in a Shakespearean acting class and we were assigned the task of writing a sonnet to get more up close and personal with iambic pentameter. I went home, dashed one off and thought - this is fun! Came back to class with four of them - crabby teacher only let me read one - and I just kept writing them. That was 12+ years ago and sonnets have become my favorite "delivery system" for expressing myself, how I see the world around me, relationships, parenting, social media, etc.
