My early interest was in riding and raising horses, not writing. Somewhere in the back of my mind was the idea that if those goals didn’t work out, I could always be a writer. A later thought was, perhaps I’d be a writer and make a bundle of money so I could reach those horse goals.
Wrong on all counts! By the time I figured out that what I really wanted to be was a writer, I found it was considerably more difficult than I realized. And making a “bundle of money”? Forget it!
I wrote several hundred short stories for children and then adults before I ever got into writing book-length novels. I then wrote quite a few romance novels before finding my way into what I’m most happy doing now: writing mystery novels with a foundation of faith and a lighthearted dash of fun.
I live in Southern Oregon with husband Jim. I have a son, a granddaughter, and the latest addition is great-grandson Aiden. (Does anyone ever expect to get to great-grandma age? I didn’t!) My next goal is to get to actually meet Aiden, because they live far away from us.
