My dream as a young girl has been to write great books. Somehow I knew there were great stories and books inside me. I took Journalism classes in high school. One thing I knew, I didn't want to write for a newspaper. I had a voice and I wanted it to be heard from within a great story! I began writing while I was in college and found that I could actually write. These days, I use writing to relieve the stresses of daily life. It's a kind of "retreat." I've always been accused of living in my "head." So this is a wonderful thing...writing.
