<p>My first attempt at writing began when I received a diary when I was ten. I wrote in it faithfully every night. I had an idyllic childhood. Raised in the fifties with a stay-at-home Mom, a World War ll veteran Father, and one older brother.</p><p>Being married for 54 years and having three daughters, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, I have all the inspiration and stories I need to write.</p><p>After retirement, I traveled to the United States with my husband for five years. On the road, I took up writing once again. I have filled journals with stories of the places we saw and the people we met along the way. We settled in a small town in Arizona, enjoying the fantastic weather and friendly people.</p><p> I have had several short stories published. I am an active member of the SLO Night Writers. This is my first attempt at writing a Novel. I call it “The novel I was never going to write.” I hope you enjoy reading it, and who knows, there might be another novel inside of me waiting to escape. Enjoy!</p>
