Now retired in Florida she picked up a pen one afternoon with an insatiable urge to write, and hasn't put it down since. "Brain Files" has been her first attempt at writing fiction. Having lived in several different states with her husband's job transfers, she's collected many friends with stories. Always taking a job within an elementary school system as a kindergarten teaching assistant and later special education assistant kept her busy meeting new people, and hearing new tales that she's placed in her own brain files. Politically active, she won The Chairman's award from the Vienna (VA) Regional Chamber of Commerce for her leadership bringing an Ethics program into the high school. This program she was enthralled to do and mold as a seminar for the senior class to experience a mock trial with real courtroom judge, and area business leaders there to listen, and let the teens speak constructively of their feelings on what they were understanding. Didn't cost the taxpayers any money! She negotiated with area businesses to contributing their expertise and funding for the three staged daylong event. She has been a member of the National League of Families - Missing In Action (Vietnam) since 1967, when her brother became Missing In Action. Her other simple claim to fame has been as former Alumni Board of Directors member as well as Alumni Correspondent for her Class of 1969 at the incredible Pinkerton Academy. "The Hidden Poet" was her 2nd attempt at writing a suspense novel and was completed the following year. Her third E novel, "The Manufactured President" will be available soon.view less
