I have so many stories that I dream about and can't wait to share with others, my first book is on being your own boss and having your own business, that way, if you are a writer then you could apply my story to become successful at being a writer and make money on the side or full time.  I now have time to write after spending years developing this story and hope that it's helpful to others.  I'm a native Oregonian, love to explore nature and travel, I'm married (no children) but have three Chihuahuas and two birds.  I act in theatre, tv, and movies for fun, I direct plays, I'm President of a twenty-five-year-old community theatre and run two businesses.  I'm a weekend farmer who enjoys planting, gardening and improving our home.  A real "do-it-yourselfer" mainly because I have always worked hard because I couldn't afford to have someone else do it.
