My writing journey began at age thirty-seven when I enrolled in the hardest college course I could imagine--ENG COMP I. I've since earned an AA in ECE, and a BA in Writing and Literature.
Previous to that, I’d been a nanny, a lapidary with a degree in Faceting from Gemological Institute of America, a jeweler who graduated from North Bennet Street School and a dot etcher in printing industry (a job that does not exist anymore).
I have several WIP since I’ve been participate in NaNoWriMo since 2010. Several disaster thrillers, a contemporary fiction, a six-character study that is taking shape as a series of three novels, and a romantic suspense.
I also write for my own blog as well as for The WriNoShores.
I cofounded the WriNoShores in 2011. We are a local writing group that gets together twice a month just for writing time and once a month for Q and A, and support.
I decided I must be a writer after reading Betsy Learner's description of her neurotic clients in "Forest for the Trees" and recognized myself.
I may have Dysgraphia. It cost too much for an adult to be tested for a learning disability to find out for sure, especially since it hasn't stopped me from being successful. I can only write on the computer, otherwise my thoughts are a jumbled mess on paper.
