About Gail-Tzipporah Saunders

Whenever asked to tell about myself at parties, barbecues and such, I always feel like singing, "I was born in a ditch by a mother who left me there, naked and cold and too hungry to cry. I never blamed her, I'm sure she left hoping that I had the good sense to die."

There is not a grain of truth to it, but I always liked the song especially when sung by the soprano in "Man of La Mancha."

The straight skinny is that I was born and raised in the heartland of the US, otherwise known of as Chicago, and traveled to California at the tender age of adulthood. I have been writing since childhood and have penned columns for various papers around the country shortly after moving to So Cal.
