I am self-employed in my desktop publishing business, helping others publish their books. And, writing has always been part of my life. I especially want to write stories that encourage others and help see issues from different perspectives.Laughing at myself is part of who I am, too, so I try to interject humor into what I write.I love sports, except for a few I do not consider real sports. At 70, I started playing softball again but was too young to go to the senior games with the 74-79 team.But, above all, I love to read.Sandy Lardinois, Top GemJeWeL Publishing LLCview less
