Who am I
A retired PI, I'm always more about "Who are you?" than who am I? But since transparency is important here, I am: Grace E. Castle, writer of magazine articles, editor of PI Magazine, mother of two amazing women, mother-in-law to their wonderful husbands, grandmother to five young men and four of their wives, and great-grandmother to a young guy and 3 girls. My first novel is stewing, and the first words of my memoir have just hit the page so I have lots to ponder. I've been a PI, a newspaper reporter/photographer, chiropractic assistant, bookkeeper, library aide and have had a multitude of part-time positions---all fodder for my writing. You'll find my writing published under Grace Elting Castle, the name I have used for several decades.
