: About Me

I am new to writing. Wait, let me rephrase that! I have been writing since I was a young child, however, I am new to writing articles and essays for publication. I've tried to write novels a few times, but abandoned them within the first few chapters.

I consider myself lucky. No, I have never won anything (does my husband's heart count?), but I am hugely blessed that our children are happy and healthy and he and I have good, steady jobs.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a police officer.

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I am reading "The Feminine Mistake" and watching chick flix!

My first job ...

was in a bindery plant in Detroit, Michigan.

My best moment ...

was when my employer called to tell me I was starting the police academy.

My inspiration ...

wow...that's a tough one. How much room do you have?

I considered it indulgent and an unnecessary expense. My blue collar background resisted for a lo...
