It began when I was young, writing stories just for fun. As I grew up I would write for school newpapers. I married young,divorced young and with finaces tight I decided to write stories for my neices and nephews as Christmas gifts. I was amazed at how much they enjoyed the stories. In time I married again and after having my own children and learning to surf the interent I found friends that encouraged me to write about my life and family. I was FUNNY they said.Their encouragement led me to a writing group and since I joined the group I have had a several short stories published in an annual journal. I am currently working on a horror story.
