I have always loved
reading. I would carry a
book with me wherever I went
and if I forgot, I would
read anything available – a
newspaper, magazine, even
the back of a cereal box!
Words simply enthralled me.
Meanings, combinations,
anything to do with the
English language.
In a past life, I spent
many years as a counselor.
For various reasons, I left
the world of counseling, but
my “retirement” at a young
age didn’t last long. One
day, I looked at all the
books that filled my shelves
and the proverbial light
bulb went off. I knew I had
found what I wanted to do –
I wanted to write. I wanted
to be a part of that world
of words I loved so much –
arranging them in ways that
would give them meaning,
tell a story, warm a
reader’s heart. I have
always written – love
letters for friends to give
to their intended, letters
for friends to give to ex’s
giving them problems, even
letters to editors of
newspapers about certain
articles. Now, I wanted to
write on a much grander
scale. I wanted to write
fiction.
It’s been quite the
journey – at times
frustrating, at times
lonely, at times satisfying
and wonderful, all in equal
parts. It’s always been
fascinating. And, above
all, a journey I wouldn’t
trade for anything.
