Hard to believe I’ve been writing for nearly 20 years. Back in September 2004 I embarked on a journey to become a creative writer with a degree to hone my skills, to elevate my writing to a publishing-worthy level.
Here I am in 2023 still writing and with 5 books in my kit bag. Right after graduating, ripe with enthusiasm, I tackled my first novel set in post WWII rural England, about a young girl and her family. The story covers three years in Heatherbelle’s and her family’s life, where the reader can share her journey of discovery, challenges, and overcoming.
After I had finished this novel, before even trying to get published, I was off to my next challenge with a memoir called, No Higher Purpose. Both these books have now been professionally edited and are a couple of months away from being ready for publishing, which I plan to do this year.
Never enjoying being idle, these past three years, while editing the first two books, I wrote a young adult science fiction trilogy filled with drama and the unexpected that takes place in the future in a dystopian North American country. I’ll continue to edit and complete those over the next couple of years.
Aside from my passion, writing, I continue to do computer work for one of our son’s businesses and enjoy time with my husband, our wonderful children, and grandchildren.
