My interest in writing came about simply enough, I was reading a series of books and I became fed up with them. I just pulled out a notebook and said I could write one better. That's it, I never dreamed of being a writer and truth be told for 10 of the 13 years since that fateful day I was a closet writer. No one read any of my stories, very few even knew that was how I spent my spare time.

I now have a 390-page western/Oregon Trail novel because of not liking that series, granted I've rewritten it about eight times now always pulling it out when I got bored. The next thing I knew it didn't even resembled what I started out with before. I got into short stories because I started trying to put too much into the novel. Now I have about 40 short stories, a few non-fiction essays most about the Peace Corps, 3 or 4 stories as well as a kid's book I've yet to finish, partial ideas for another eight or nine and I'm currently working on a mystery series. One down 3 started.

I love history and they range from ancient Egypt to modern day. They range in genre from western, mystery, suspense, spies, a few romances pop up even, you get the idea. Then 2 years ago, my husband said you spend so much time writing you should try to get them published. This from a man I hadn't let read anything in four or five years and just like that, I did. One of the first pieces I sent out was accepted within weeks. This is going to be easy I thought. I was wrong of course. I had one other piece that fit their guidelines so I sent it in. Not quite as quickly as the first, I got a letter saying the publisher had died and the publication was closing. Come to think of it, has that happened twice? Any way as you can see I've gotten over the problem. No one's died since.
