Some of my first memories in life are with my Grandma, by the creek, telling me about the fairies.  These stories were so vivid and real that I always thought if I could look just a little harder or just a little different I too would see the fairies.  This world was opened up to me at a young age and reinforced through out my lifetime by both my Grandma and Mom, the two greatest and most influential people in my life.  This year I hit a milestone.  I turned the dreaded 50.  However this has been the most exciting, wonderful and surprising year I have had in a long time.

Since I first started writing in the 6^th grade, I have written plays, poetry, children’s books and even started on several novels.  I am ashamed to say many of them came to an end with a struck match.  However several have survived my depressions and frustrations.  My favorite is one I wrote several years ago based off a true story that concerned my Grandma, me and the fairies.  This year after years of struggles and rejection slips (I stopped counting at 75 and that was 8 years ago) I am finally going to be published.  What a joy it was to hear that my book had been accepted for publication.  What a thrill it was with heart pounding I signed the contract.  I start this site for my writings and book that will soon be available.  Walk with me through this exciting journey as I remember the struggles, the pain and finally the triumph of being able to say I am a published author.
