I am a 45 year old mother & grandmother. I have 3 grown sons, 2 beautiful grand-daughters and a loving husband. When I’m not spending time with them or boating with my husband, I am writing. I am a freelance writer for several places such as Heartland Boating, River Hills Traveler, Yorkshire Terrier, Pontoon & Deck Boat, Action Pursuit, Houseboat, Aero Sports Connection, Dialogue & Writer Magazines. I have also been featured in the M.S. Newsletter, Story Circle Network, Quiet Mountain Essays & the AKC Newsletter. I write for a local website www.riverbills.com. I had my first book published in January 2007, From the heart of a Mother. I won 1st place in a poetry contest on December 2008 titled Christmas Memories. My second book was released in January 2009 Our Spiritual Makeover. I will have 3 of my stories published in 3 different books in 12/09 including Chicken Soup for the Soul edition Count Your Blessings in December 2009. ( View more » )
