In their own words
MaryEllen Gambutti's life as a military daughter in the 1950's and 1960's, her horticulture career, and survival of brain hemorrhage in her 50's have fueled her writing in creative non-fiction, memoir, Asian poetry and haibun. She and her husband reside in Southwest Florida with their rescued senior Chihuahua.
