Miss T. I am a retired 32 year English teacher turned novelist. I am a blogger/ essayist. I was born in Brooklyn — where my adult son now lives — so I get the NY vibe. However, I am a San Diego/ Encinitas guy. Four novels — all self published — even though I had an agent for my first two YA books. I have another agent interested in my newest work (which I am taking a break from to send you a note.) You NEED to be very careful in NYC right now. www.robertpacilio.net
