Welcome everyone!

 

I live with my husband in Maryland, USA.  I have three children and two grandchildren.  My hobbies include, reading, writing, baking, walking, swimming, and listening to a variety of music.  Among my favorite authors are; Jan Karon, Adriana Trigiani, Max Lucado, and the late, Erma Bomback.

 

While growing up in the country, a treasured time during the summer was hiking to the nearby bookmobile.  I have fond memories of walking inside and smelling the fragrance of the books and slowly feeling the crinkly plastic covers like they were gold. It was intoxicating.While raising my children, I wrote fun little stories and humorous kiddie poems.  Along my journey, I have enjoyed teaching Faith Formation to school children, working for a pediatrician and helping kids as a paraeducator.  Eventually I was inspired to write a middle grade novel about a young girl stricken with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.  A few years later, after reading an article about my great-grandfather, it became my mission to write a book about that too.

 

I feel the Holy Spirit was my co-author in both works.  My plan is to try publishing some children stories and a senior joke book in the near future.
