I am now a published author of short stories, which is a dream-come-true. Fifteen of them so far, eight in print-publication. I'm also a member of 'Let's Publish!', hosted by emerin-liseli , who's my sponsor for my Rising Star status. I am not officially trained -- I'm not an English/Creative Writing Major (not a Minor either). As a matter of fact, the only writing I do for my job are official reports. But I cannot not write stories, so here I am. I hope to have novels and anthologies with my name on the spine -- hey, anything's possible if you put your heart into it.
