Where to start?
I suppose with the basics.
I'm a single parent of two highly creative children. I've been writing stories since the tender age of 8. It was
always for school or my own amusement. Never for others.
I wrote fan fics (before they were called that) during my high school
years and was inspired by Star Trek, SeaQuest, and Highlander, just
to name a few. I did a lot of poetry writing too during my high school
years, mainly to release all my angst, woes and emotions that I buried
deep inside.
After high school I went to college and got a BA in Communications.
It wasn't until after the birth of my first child that I considered
writing a novel. Once I moved from my home state of Virginia to Florida
in 2004, my goal solidified. I began work on a novel called "Moonbeams and Moonlight." (it has yet to be completed)
I met a local writer's workshop group at the public library and through
their steady encouragement, along with my many friends (online and offline)
I started taking baby steps toward fulfilling my goal of producing a
novel.
I've had many road blocks and speed bumps over the last six years,
but now here I am, 6 years later and I've finished, not one, but two books.
