I am a Canadian full-time employee - mother of two, grandmother of four, and married to a wonderful supportive man who writes in her spare time. I am trying to live at least part of my life doing what excites me the most.    
 
I have had an infatuation with pens, paper, and notepads since I was a small child. This love affair is still as strong today as it was when I first learned to write cursive. I can't walk into a stationary store or down an aisle of pens and paper and not get sucked in. 

As a young girl, I thoroughly enjoyed the library and card catalogs. I could get lost inside a library for days and I would have been in heaven - though I never admitted that to my friends - because that would have been weird. I loved books. I still love books! I love everything about them! I love the smell of them, the cream thin or thick pages. I love the covers - soft or hard. I love the way a story can make you get lost inside of it - the author gives you the canvas but your mind does the painting.  All of it fueled my dream of holding a copy of a book I wrote someday.      

I'm not sure if I am a great writer or if my stories are interesting, but they are mine. I love the characters like they have lived a part of my life. I love the stories like they have been a part of my reality.      

Anyway, that's the first mile of my journey. One that I hope will be a thousand miles long...
