My Story
My passion is writing! I wrote my first story at age 7 when I was bored at church, and I knew it was what I wanted to do with my life. The art of entertaining with words and sharing thoughts about a topic hooked me.
I am working on a contemporary Western romance, a private investigator mystery, and flash fiction short stories. (Watching the scenes unfold and writing them down is so much fun!)
Here are a few other things about me you might like to know:
-
In my spare time, I love to read (big surprise), watch or listen to true crime or paranormal podcasts, and sometimes play my violin (very badly, I must add).
-
I love dark chocolate and sunsets rather than sunrises, but the few early mornings I've seen were beautiful. :,-)
-
I have 4 siblings and 13 nieces and nephews, who are a lot of fun!
-
I also have 6 step kids and 4 grandkids (thanks to my wonderful husband who shared his family with me) who are a delight and have accepted me into their lives very lovingly and graciously. Lots of love to spread around.
-
My current career is in massage therapy, and my blog will have articles about health, wellness and spiritual topics, among other various interests.
-
I LOVE animals, but sadly, I developed allergies, so I currently have no pets. Growing up, I was the kid who always brought home the strays and nursed them back to health. There is something special about receiving an animal’s love. ♡ Check out a few pics of my prior pets.
Nik and me in June of 2024 by the River Itchen in his hometown of Winchester, UK.
Nik and me in June of 2024 at Stonehenge! Bucket list item for me! (He used to eat lunch next to the stones with his Grandpa when he was younger!)
Nik and me in June of 2024 at Portchester Castle in Portsmouth, UK. The Roman Wall is on one side of the perimeter. That was cool to walk around!
My cat, Cookie (and me) late '80s (and yes, that is my REAL hair color. I miss it!)
