As the oldest of 11 siblings, I always had a vivid imagination and wrote poetry about love, knights, anger, and bullies. After my father passed away, I stopped writing and threw away all my poetry. In my professional life, I wrote reports, grant proposals, and travel journals. When I retired, I joined writer groups and focused on writing children's books. However, when my husband became blind, I stopped writing again to take care of him. Now a widow, I'm back to writing with a passion, unpacking and rewriting my stories.
