On Ash Wednesday of 1869, the maitresse d’ecole of the once grand plantation calledJewelweed smoothed ragged crosses on the foreheads of ten orphaned slave children. She usedashes mixed with chalk; the black coal dust that the old priest  smeared on the children did notadequately manifest the state of their souls. Besides, the old man was a fool, twisting his lips indistaste as he touched those poor babies.

"Flying Stories II" Subtitled: How I Came to Be a Pilot and Engineer and What Happened After That (Non-Fiction) What was it like to be a part of the generation born in the 1930s was too late to fly dirigibles or be barnstormers. They were too young to fly the B-17s and P-51s or design the new post war aircraft like the P-80 jet and Bell X-1 rocket, but they picked up where the aviation pioneers left off and established the United States as the unchallenged world leader in the aviation industry.  Flying Stories, the author's second book, is about one of those kids, too young to go to the last big war, but who grew up in the midst of it. One of the faceless thousands of young engineers who helped make air travel safer than riding a bus.

I've written as a freelancer, and have completed a bunch of novels, and have also taught college full time and then for a prison program that was summarily closed by a Republican governor. One of my Smashwords novels, From Renata With Love, makes use of what I learned then from one of my inmate students.

I've published two novels on Kindle: Attila as Told to His Scribes, and I, Zerco, both set in the 5th century in or near the Roman Empire. The first is a first-person fictional autobiography of Attila the Hun, telling of his life from the incident which sent him as hostage to the Roman capital (Ravenna) as a young man, through his triumphs, to his death, narrated by his last scribe.

I, Zerco tells his own story. A contemporary of Attila, a Moor who ended up in Attila's court, according to a Roman eyewitness account, his story begins in the North African mountains. He is always a lover, but he's enslaved by Romans and subsequently has three harrowing, but ultimately triumphant careers: as bestiarius, stupidus (jester) and double agent to Attila's predecessor, and finally as a magician. He is the ultimate survivor.

Many people raise an eyebrow when I tell them my recently released novel is a baby boomer novel. I can almost read their skepticism about the content as they imagine a novel about a get off my lawn kind of person. Goodbye Emily is a boomer novel. It's also funny and irreverent. It follows three baby boomers who relive their trip to Woodstock in 1969. One final roadtrip. One last chance to say Goodbye Emily.

Why did I write a novel that focused on three men age 60? What better group to create a character from. Boomers are talented, funny, shaped with experience, and in my case, influenced by the cold war, Camelot and Vietnam.

There's also a practical reason for writing for and about baby boomers. Boomers are the largest group of book buyers in the country. Will this change with the growth of Kindle and other devices? Hardly. Boomers are the largest group of ereader users.

Next time you consider a baby boomer novel, don't assume it will be about someone adjusting to retirement. Boomer novels are often witty, suspenseful and brilliantly crafted coming of (old) age stories. Just like all genres. So check them out.

I want the reader to have some understanding of my purpose and goals for this I Ching blog. I first became obsessed with I Ching in 1970. This interest coincided with the feminist movement where I was frequently asked, “Why are you interested in that sexist book that talks about the superior man all the time?” I Ching developed as the Chinese language developed over three thousands years ago so that question was not something I could respond to in a sound bite.

While there are many interpretations of I Ching, they are from the perspective of the traditional Eastern masculine view. So partly in response to those early days of that repeated question, and partly because I love to write and make pictures, I decided that I needed to create my own version of what I Ching means to me. I Ching Meditations is expressed in imagery and words.

I Ching or Book of Changes has one law that remains constant: Only thing that never changes is change itself.

I was born in southwestern Pennsylvania, the second daughter of Rachel Yost and Arthur Curtis McGee. I grew up loving to read and write poetry, as well as short stories. My childhood dream was to become a teacher. My dream of writing was created in the eleventh grade literature class where writing became my passion.

I was married in August 2012 to my husband, Gregory Stephen Buda Jr. and we reside in a small Pennsylvania town of Fairchance. I am a full time mother of one and is expecting my second child.

I graduated from American Intercontinental University with my associates in business administration. I enjoys spending her time writing and I feel that connecting with readers is my main goal.

I published Silenced under my maiden name but I plan to continue writing under my married name with any other work.
