My first career was in public education, first as a teacher then as a principal of a small high school.
For the past ten years, I have followed a new career path of studying the craft of writing, attending conferences focused on writing, and creating short stories, a novel, and poetry as an emerging artist.
I am a flatlander by birth rather than choice but enjoy the dramatic changes in weather and scenery in Oklahoma. Too late to relocate to a milder climate, I am surrounded by four grown children and their families. Fourteen grandchildren add a dimension to my life that I cherish.
But writing is my passion. Study and improvement in my craft as a writer is my goal.
