Brief Author Bio: A half century ago, my high school counselor asked me what I wanted to be on the eve of my graduation and I told her I wanted to be a WRITER! No, no, no she said, you'll never make any money that way, you have to make your own style first and get an agent. OK, I said, then I want to be a technician, turning buttons, watching dials and lugging cables. No, no, no, she said, to make money you have to be an engineer, techs never get anywhere. |

Synopsis: Windy and the Boys
Gwendolyn finds her coming senior years complicated by her successful son's determination to remove her from the NYC rent-controlled apartment she has occupied for years and determines to find her own Independence and freedom by any means. Hanging up the phone on him the day she is to turn over the keys, she witnesses a young boy walk away from his mother and board the subway alone. Gwendolyn decides to follow the example.
Excerpt: Windy and the Boys
"You are a bitter son for a mother to bear", she hissed into the phone.
"Any you Gwen are a stubborn old bat.", her son said calmly. "Sooner or later you'll have to come home and you will have no choice but to move into the home once I get the order".
"Will I have to?" she replied with defiance. "You will see what I will have to do and you will regret it."
