I don't have what most people would consider an interesting life. I have an intelligent, gorgeous daughter, 3 fabulous grandchildren and fantastic friends. I've worked some interesting (another word for weird) jobs like cooking chicken feathers and climbing telephone poles but most of my life I've just worked and taken care of my family.
I started writing in 6th grade encouraged when my teacher submitted my short story assignment to a magazine. Unfortunately at that time, years and years and years ago, you couldn't be published unless you were 18.
My freshman year of high school I wrote most of my class' short story assignments. Almost everyone got an A except me because I didn't get mine finished. However I got a B and made almost $100 so I was happy. My senior year I worked for a tiny weekly newspaper.
I worked for awhile as an editor, copywriter and every other needed position for Prevue movie magazine (not as exciting as it sounds).
There was a long time when I didn't write at all (made for a very grouchy mama, just ask my daughter) and then along came the internet (yes youngsters there was a time when the internet didn't exist. We used things called typewriters or pen and paper) and an angel named Glenda who introduced me to fan fiction and re-ignited my love of writing and fanned the flames of my imagination. I've written (or am in the process of writing or editing) several books but with my family and friends encouragement Truly Blessed is the first I've published. It's taken years to work up the courage to put my work out there (except for my Stargate SG1 and M7 fanfic) and I hope everyone enjoys it.
