It was not my primary career, but the idea of writing stories has always been important to me. Publishing my first book encouraged me to continue writing stories for the Web, articles for my work, and of course, another novel.
As my career in health care winds down, I look forward to making writing a second career. For years, I have listened to women share stories about their incredible lives. Many of them are not able to make their struggles known through the printed word. My hope is to provide a vehicle through which others may learn from their experiences.
I don't always consider myself a writer as much as a storyteller. Attempting new and different ideas is not strange to me—I was blessed with the greatest role models: my grandmother and mother. They are both strong women who lived lives few could imagine. Also, with the support of a marriage that has lasted four decades and resulted in two children and four grandchildren, I feel that dedicating the rest of my life to the pleasure of writing will be just as rewarding as my careers in health and wellness, ministry, and community service.view less
