At the age of 51, I decided to become a writer when for most of my life my imagination could come up with far off worlds and characters. With encouragement from my fiance and my family, I took a class on how to write a novel from an author that has made a name for herself. I kinda figured she knew what she was talking about. She taught me the lay of the land on how to be an author. I have two adult children who, in their own way, are making their marks in this world. I have my mother and the rest of my siblings, two brothers and two sisters. One sister is my twin (Yeah, I was born after her and the last to be born). My fiance is my rock. She believes in me when I don't. She is my everything.
