As a child, my mom used to buy me books instead of toys. Stories became my fun time, so I read everything I could get my hands on. And when I ran out of things to read, I rewrote my favorite stories with alternate plots and endings. I have been writing in some form or another ever since I was eight years old. My writing became books when my children started high school. Suddenly I had these independent mini adults who didn't need me as much. LOL! So, I started writing.
