I always had the desire to write a story, but never found the time until I retired. My sister-in-law was my inspiration in this endeavor. When she became ill with cancer, she started to write a mystery, but unfortunately died before completing it. I wanted to finish it for her since she shared how she wanted to conclude her story, however, I met some resistance from her daughter and dismissed the idea. A close friend urged me to write my own story. Since the idea of writing always intrigued me, I took some classes and joined writing groups in The Villages, Florida which resulted in having my first novel, FATAL CHOICES, published. It's now available on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. I'm also a member of The Writer's League of The Villages, Florida.
