I am atrained operatic contralto, though I have not sung in a while, and I am a writer.
I sang with the Cincinnati May Festival Chorus for twenty years. On several occasions, I soloed in front of a live audience with an orchestra. I also did the same thing in several church jobs. As far as writing, I have completed a novel ready for publication, and have submitted it to various agents.
