With permission from the women, I wanted to share some things about myself.
I'm a mother of two beautiful daughters and three stepsons. I think the last count on grandchildren and greats was 22. Thanksgiving and Christmas with this group can be a challenge, but is always a joy.
I've been married to my husband, Larry for almost 17 years. He has supported me in this endeavor and I love him a lot. We live in the-middle-of-no-where Oklahoma with two grown Labrador retrievers, Sara and Ziva. They think I'm their mommy.
I have a full time job at the local Air Force Base, been there for 25 years. I sell Avon, been doing that for 20 years. I write when I'm not doing either one of those things.
I love to read. Sometimes I think I must have been born with a book in my hand. I can never remember my mother being much of a reader till later in her life, but I know she encouraged that love of books in me. I'm grateful to her for that.
Writers are expected to love books, but I have a couple of other things that aren't so standard.
I like to pan for gold, I enjoy NASCAR (go Jeff Gordon!), and I'm a serious Trekker. Most of my previous writing experience was Trek stuff. Poems and short stories published in various fanzines. Well, there IS that unpublished Star Trek novel buried in my closet, but we won't go there.
I have worshiped at the same Pentecostal church for 40 years. The people there are my forever family and I couldn't ask for better.
I hope you enjoy the Blog.
