: About Me

 I found Helium a number of years ago but only just started submitting articles this week.  Professionally, I have been a licensed Realtor in Florida since 2003. I have specialized primarily in listing and selling foreclosures and completing valuations for banks,  Prior to earning my real estate license, I was a horse trainer and riding instructor, specializing then in retraining problem horses.

Writing has always been a passion.  I have been writing since...well, since I could write.  At 8 one of my poems was awarded 2nd place in the county where we lived in North Carolina.  Since then I have had several poems and short stories published, mostly in the US though one was published in an Australian publication.

I am currently writing a "sunset travelog" at www.floridasunsetplaces.blog.com.  Parts will be "published" in the blog with the rest being held back until the book is finished and published only within the book.  Please take a look.

My best moment ...

My inspiration ...

my son, my dogs, my family, a beautiful sunset, the rain, a bad day, a good day....inspiration is everywhere.
