: About Me

Hi there, I'm new here and giving it a try. I'm a grandmother who loves to write and loves to encourage her grandchildren to try also.
My most successful work so far was winning an international playwrite competition. What a thrill that was and then to travel overseas on the prize money and see it performed at a play reading. I can't describe how good that was.
I'm currently working on an historical novel and love the work and love the research.
Will it ever be finished?......probably not.
