Traci Moore loves windy days and blending smoothies from odd leafy vegetables. She could eat up an hour buying a good writing pen and consume an afternoon deciding what to make her almost vegan family for dinner. A writer of short fiction, Traci is also an editor and writing coach who helps writers whip up new recipes at their writing desks. For two years, she inspired people to share their creative gifts with the community through Monsoon Voices, a live literary event she directed with her husband in Phoenix and Oro Valley. www.tracimoore.org. 

Richy D. Feinberg: I was born and raised on the lower Eastside of Manhattan. My wife Joyce came from the upper Westside…we met in midtown 54 years ago. I have 3 daughters, and three granddaughters. My lucky number is 7 and that’s how many loving females are in my life. In 1993 at age 58 I had a heart attack. Five days later I had quadruple bypass surgery and two months later I had another heart attack. I was depressed, in pain, had anxiety attacks, fearful of the future and was unable to return to my job as an art director. On the advice of my daughters who lived in Tucson, we moved from Syosset L.I. to Tucson nine months after my surgery. In Tucson, I was blessed to discover the "Heart Disease Reversal Program." The program restored my life to a new direction for living and enjoying life. It opened the door for new adventures. I had a one-man watercolor show at DeGrazia Gallery, became a certified practitioner for Bio Touch Healing and for 12 years, volunteered in many positions for the Town of Oro Valley. Presently, I’m the Public Relations Director for the Foundation for Cardiovascular Health/ Heart Series.
