Hiya People!

Hi.  I'm rms and this is a lens about me and my lenses!

My real name is Robin and I grew up and spent most of my life on Long Island. (That explains the accent.) I was, up until recently, the contributing editor of both Fresh Cooking From Your Garden, and Creative Writing - Sell Your Fiction over at Garden and Hearth. I left there to pursue some of my other goals, one of which is to write a novel.

I also write essays, short stories and, on occasion, a little poetry. I have been published both online and in print, in newspapers, magazines, ezines, several anthologies, and in two different poetry books.  My short story, Yellow Ribbons, which appears in the anthoology, Touched by Wonder, was recommended for a Nebula Award.

I'm having a ball creating lenses here at Squidoo.  What writer doesn't dream of instant publishing gratification?  Take a look at what I've created and accomplished so far!
