I have always been interested in writing. My interest peaked when I started college and took some english classes. I started the rough draft of the book more than 15 years ago. I would do a page or two and step away from the book for a year or so and start back on it when i would stumble upon it when i was looking for something on my floppy disk. I had the opportunity to write for our local newspaper and became a columnist for the newspaper on a bi-monthly basis. I started working toward a bachelors degree and had to take a litterature course. That is when I started to learn about the role the protagonist and the antagonist play in a story. My writing really came to life after learning about the parts of a story. My editor would say that I have a knack for it. I tend to believe that my writing will get better as I learn the ropes.The book cover is was designed by a young man that I met during my work in the community. Art inside the book is done by a young woman that approached me with her artwork. A friend who is a retired school teacher (Peggy Rouch) helped me with editing the book. I want to inspire anyone that is interested in writing to do it. You will find out if you have a talent for it by the feedback you get.view less
