I am a Florida, USA Native--A rare breed.
About Me
I have written all my life. As an adult, I worked for a while for a newspaper. I did write the first draft of a novel. The only copy was destroyed in a house fire. Let that be a warning to keep a copy safe--like here on WDC. Then the kids came along... I didn't start really writing again until the kids were grown. I am currently working on a YA Fantasy novel, that isn't quite ready to show here on the website . . . but, soon.
Type of Writer
I'm a NOP (no outline person). I just know the ending and write everything that makes the ending happen. I write every day.
Writing Style
I am more interested in characterization than in scenery in a story. What kind of style of writer that makes me, you decide!
Interests
Like most writers, I am interested in everything. Crafts. Antique cars. I love children so much we have 7 of them. I love to travel. I have a spoiled Shih Tzu named Razzle. Oh yeah, I also have a new husband who keeps me straight.

"Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day...Teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." I lived by this when things got tough raising 4 boys as a single mom...It was so worth it, too!
