I test many children's stories out on them!

I have been the roving Associate Editor for a woman's motorcycle magazine, covering motorcycle events and doing in-depth interviews with outstanding women motorcyclists all across the United States.I have also worked for local newspapers covering current events and historical interests.

to many to count after all of these years

Why I write ...

Ican't help myself

My inspiration ...

My family telling me I can do it.
