: About Me

Passonate desire for storytelling. I have had many humorous and interesting events occur in my life and have been encouraged by many, many friends and colleagues to put these events to pen and paper. This website is a godsend.

I am over fifty, single Mom with two wonderful adult daughters. I write professionally for a state entity. Although I've learned much about technical writing, it does nothing to inspire my creativity and passion for writing.
