I have always loved stories. I have been an avid reader all my life, going back to the days when my mom read the works of Roald Dahl and Judy Blume to me, and I would jump out of bed to read by my night light after she had tucked me in. I even tried writing a few short stories through adolescence. As I got older, I tried writing more seriously, but had no idea what I was doing and never got far. Somewhere in my early twenties, life and family got serious and the idea of writing a novel fell by the wayside, though always stayed in the back of my head. I got married, started my first real professional job, and had my son. I work for an electronics distributer, over twenty-one years now. I started in sales, moved into purchasing, and eventually into business and data analytics. It’s all very left brain, without much creativity in the mix, and I have always needed a creative outlet. I dabbled in ceramics, candle making, scrap booking, and eventually learned glass lampworking (making glass beads over a torch) and silver smithing. I ran a jewelry business on the side for about ten years before the idea of writing surfaced again. I had just read two popular series back-to-back and was HIGHLY disappointed in the endings. I thought, I can do better than this. At least I would want to read it. So, I started writing. And I found that with maturity, some life experience, and a vast improvement in my typing skills, I could get the scenes playing in my head onto the page. I studied the craft of storytelling, while writing my first book. In retrospect the book wasn’t great, but I enjoyed every minute of it, and continued through its two sequels. By the time I finished the third book, I felt I had found my groove. I gave up the jewelry making business in favor of writing. Someday I may go back and rewrite that first series, but for now, I have enough ideas to keep me dangerous.
