Why I Write

I’ve been writing since the age of seven. My fascination with Story started with Nancy Drew book before I moved on to Agatha Christie mysteries. Gothic romance came next. Soon, I was swept away by the genre. Characters and conflict fascinate me.

When my children were young and time was too scare to write, I made up stories for them at bedtime. Silly stories, mostly with some message I wanted to convey — like brush your hair or birds will make a next in it. Some day perhaps, I will get those stories on to paper.

Finishing my first novel, which isn’t published, was a thrill. I quickly followed it up with others. Each time, I wanted to improve. The goal, to breath life into something and give others that escape I love when I read.
