: About Me

I am a person for whom the love of writing has been a long set-aside hobby. After years of raising, teaching and marrying off my children, I am ready to pick up the pen again, and having been impressed with Helium as a medium, I decide to join present company.

My passion is ...

reading and writing

I know too much about ...

turning the other cheek, how it does and does not work out.

My parents always told me ...

a job worth doing, is worth doing right.

My childhood ambition ...

was to become a brain surgeon.

My favorite memory ...

we took a camping trip for my ninth birthday, and we were huddled around the picnic table in the cold fall air, trying to keep the cake from flying away. My family began to sing 'happy birthday' when everyone huddled around surrounding campfires joined in. It was touching that so many adult strangers cared enough to sing for a little girl they did not know.

Why I write ...

writing is both exciting and relaxing, rewarding and a great form of stress-relief.

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

I enjoy reading Dee Henderson, especially her O'Malley series, because they are well-written and interesting.

My first job ...

was picking blueberries for a farm close to my aunt's house.

My best moment ...

I have had five best moments, from my wedding to the births of my four children.

My inspiration ...

came from the consistant love and support of my grandmother.
