Bio

I taught high school E.S.L. in Los Angeles for quite a few years. Started my life in Kalispell, Montana, then moved to Southern California. In the late 60s I spent four years in West Berlin, where I first became interested in the anti-Vietnam War movement. That was the beginning of a life in progressive and socialist politics. In 2012 I published my novel, "Dancing with Mao and Miguel," which takes place in the 70s and deals with political, social, and personal concerns of that decade. In addition to writing, I'm involved in trying to make the world a better place, tackling issues such as climate change and social justice. I'm a member of the Natural Resources Committee of the League of Women Voters-Pasadena area, and the Democratic Socialists of America. Photography, especially street photography, is one of my hobbies (find my work on kittykroger.smugmug.com and Instagram). I also write poetry and play a little piano. And I publish another blog (kittykroger.wordpress.com). Check it out.
