About me

I received my Associates of Science degree in Engineering Technology MANY years ago. I have worked in the construction industry and run my own small home based internet business. I have always enjoyed writing as a hobby and started publishing my works at the end of 2007.

Changing tires at Sears Automotive. My boss was named Charlie, there were three girls on the crew and it was in 1977. Yep, we were called "Charlies Angels".
