<p><em>All my life, I've wanted to a writer. Even as a child, my sister claims all I ever did was<br />
sit in my closet and scribble in a notebook.</em></p><p><em>In any event, I won my first writing contest when I was seven, and I was hooked!<br />
<br />
I married young, and soon had three wonderful little boys running around the house, so writing took a backseat for several years as I worked a variety of jobs that I hated. Once I started seriously pursuing a writing career, I found it was not as easy as I had expected, and I was not the prodigy I had imagined. But I joined a writer's group and made a ton of writing friends along the way who showed me the error of my ways and unselfishly helped me get a little better.<br />
<br />
By the time I sold my first book in 2006, I'd already been at this for over ten years and<br />
was about ready to give up. Rejection is hard!!! But holding that first book in my hands made it all worth it!<br />
<br />
Now my sons are all grown up, and two of them have babies of their own. But I now have all the time in the world to devote to telling the stories that just won't let me sleep. Hope you enjoy them!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
