I'm a grandmother who is finally pursuing a writing career. Yay! Freedom! I've had two books published, and have a new book of short stories coming out August 2007 (Please, No Zits! & Other Short Stories for LDS Youth).

I've been writing on and off for about twenty years, mostly magazine articles and short stories. My ultimate goal is to be published nationally. I've written a suspense Sci-Fi novel for twelve to sixteen year olds and am looking for an agent.
