Approximately eight years ago, I took a two-year writing course with the Institute of Children’s Literature thinking that, upon retirement, writing would supplement my income. When I lost my job two years ago, I started writing children’s articles for children’s magazines. Although magazines have themes, they don’t accept most articles. But I didn’t give up. I then decided to write a book. I have two sons, Christopher, age thirty-three, and Robert, age twenty-six. I love cats and have two females, Honey Bun and Midnight. I also have two grandsons—Jared and Jake, ages nine and seven.
To my readers,
Never give up on your dreams. They are yours to have if you work hard enough. I worked full-time and went to college at night for seven years to get a four-year degree. I was determined to be independent.
No one paid for my education. I did. The writing course I took while also working full-time. You are what you make of yourself, and again, no one can ever take that away from you.view less
