I was raised in a trailer outside of town where I learned that hard work and service were major keys to our family of nine. I spent most of my childhood on the back of a horse, milking cows, and finding trouble. My family was quite dysfunctional and filled with heart aches and hard times, but we also learned to love.During my childhood, story telling was the one thing I could rely on to help me escape the harsh life. Often times I was considered creative and a bit eccentric by my school teachers.When I married my first husband he banished my story telling ways. If I could not read it from a book it was considered a lie and thus I was banned from telling my children stories. After years of abuse at his hands I made an escape and rediscovered my love for storytelling. It was often the only way to keep my young children from fighting on long trips. When I remarried, my new husband adored the stories.Several years ago I was told that I would need a brain surgery. The doctor was honest and told me that he could not guarantee my life could be saved or that if I did live that I would ever walk again. His one guarantee was that if I did not have surgery both would be part of my near future.As a way of coping with the upcoming surgery I started writing one last story for my young children. Morning Diamond became my first ever written novel. After surviving surgery I shared my story with a few people who encouraged me to publish.I am now working on editing book two, Sunset rubies, and book three, Midnight Coal. I have two additional trilogies written and awaiting attention to prep them for publishing as well. I hope you enjoy my stories as much as those who have read it before you. Thank youview less
