About me:
Daughter of a writer who died too young. Writer in my soul but not in my occupation. Used to write as a youth. Too busy to write as a Mom. Kids are growing. My need to write is growing. I love to laugh but I've been crying more lately. I have a twinkle in my eye when I think about the possibilities!
My claim to fame: - Writer/Editor of an elementary school PTA newsletter (not as pathetic as it sounds - it was actually quite a fun a creative endeavor)
- Edited a book and a few magazine articles for author friend.
- Did some public relations work that garnered press for a few clients.
- Lead singer of a blues band 100 years ago.
