That pretty much tells the short story of me and my life, doesn't it? Well, of course there is so much more to say. I started writing in the 9th grade, why? to get a grade because I refused to get up in front of the class and speak. I was in honors English and speaking was 90% of my grade. I refused and to keep from failing me, Mrs. Claytor, my English teacher took pity on me, my lack of self esteem and confidence, and encouraged me to write. I have been writing ever since. Through bad experiences in my early life I learned to write short stories to 'escape' and cope with life. Most of my stories have 'feel good' endings and characters that are easy to relate to.

I spend my days caring for and being loved unconditionally by my two, very sweet, and forever  children, and also by my very supportive and loving husband, whom I call Hoss. Yes, after one of the characters in Bonanza. He is 'my Hoss' in every sence of the character and I love him completely.

I will continue to write and hope that you will follow me and enjoy my stories. The next book of two shorts will be called... Jack- Return to Mayfield and Murder in Mayfield. A bit different twist on what I generally write but still destined to tug at the heart strings.
