I’ve been a writer as long as I can remember, I just didn’t know it.  As a kid I was constantly making up stories in my head. Sometimes I would write them down, mostly I wrote poetry. In my high school years I attempted some short stories and started writing what were supposed to be full length novels, but never finished them. As an adult of course I got distracted with trying to find my “real” career and stopped writing anything more significant than a journal entry, but my stories never left me.  Then a nifty thing happened. I heard about NaNoWriMo. In November of 2016, I completed my first full-length novel during that writing challenge. Now, by ‘complete’ I mean I met the word count and was amazed I did it. I’ve been working on and revising that work in spurts ever since (and will hopefully publish it at the end of this year), but the main takeaway from that experience was that I could do it, and maybe I didn’t have to give up my childhood passion after all.

But Writing is of course just one facet of life. Others for me include dancing, historical costuming, and hanging with my “Little Mr.”, a very needy, but cuddly, maltipoo.  History was always my favorite subject, so I guess it’s no wonder I’m starting out with historicals, right? I also love to travel and incorporate what I learn from those experiences into my writing.
