I have been writing since I was a young girl, but the reason for the completion of this my first REAL book, was the death of my Mother.  She died almost five years ago and when our family began our path to disaster I couldn't type fast enough to keep up with what I had to say.  Writing allows me to say everything and anything and after a few (25) re-writes my writing was done.

I have yet to receive any awards regarding my book, although I have begun selling copies. I am a registered stock photographer and my ribbons for my riding are old and gathering dust, but still well loved.

I have submitted my book to reviewers and have received nothing but nice reviews (Knock on wood): Example: http://www.compulsivereader.com/html/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2234

I am keeping a diary of what it has been like for me to write and try and get published.
