Living on the outskirts of the city limits and within miles of the commonly named Cabin Town, she became familiar with the local legends and lore of those whose personal lives were closely guarded by the hills of southern Indiana.
Her father insisted that his daughters and son learn how to take care of themselves. In his eyes, this meant changing oil in the car, gapping sparkplugs, raising animals and becoming marksmen with rifle, pistol and shotgun.
“Looks don’t matter when it comes to survivin’,” was one of his saying that is quoted in her story.
After working for the City of New Albany Fire Department, she and her husband, Joe Wyzard, an Assistant Fire Chief, retired to Hernando, Florida where she published her first book.view less
