About Me

Living in New Hampshire, I have a strong love for animals and life, though I have never crossed into the thresh hold of becoming a vegetarian. I have two children who are now grown and have left the coop, but the lives they live, bring me inspiration to write about the struggles of being a teenager in the current world as it is now.
The story "A Night to Remember" which is currently posted on Fictionwritersgroup.com is to be my first story focused on teenage life, it is an unedited version, which I am currently working on the editing of it at this time. I would love to turn it into a young adult novel, to be called "Choices".
I am open to comments, as I will take them as all constructive. Being a novice, I am learning how to put my stories down on paper, with the help of Dave from Fictionwritersgroup.com.
