about me

I'm a new writer. In sixty eight years on this good earth, I have tried about everything. Always being an avid reader, I never ever thought about writing until one year ago. Since then, that's all I have wanted to do.

My son and daughter-in-law bought me a laptop with a lighted keyboard for our upcoming fiftieth anniversary and now I can sit and write in the dark. The best gift I have ever received.

have been writing for one year. I believe my writing has improved during that year and I have a lot of stories and books to share.

I grew up reading Jack London, Zane Grey, and Frank Yerby, my favorite.

Then I went on to Gothic and Historical Romance for several years. Loved Anya Seton's Green Darkness.

Until I started writing, reading was my favorite pass time. I still love to read but spend more of my time writing.

At present, my favorite genre are Thrillers. That's what I like to read and what I like to write. I've never minded reading it, but being from an older generation, I still have a difficult time writing the four letter words and erotic scenes so necessary to sell the books, but am working on it.

I have received more help and good advice on this site in the last four days, than I have in the last year of struggling to learn how to write.

You'll never know how much I appreciate you all.

Great writing. I'm not into Fantasy worlds, but I can see that you are a very accomplished writer and have done a lot of work on this novel. I also like the opening and the poetry. Backed. Trish 'Miranda' view book

How scary. Something like the Millinium Bug scare. Some day this is going to happen. I really can't figure out how money still has any value left now. Great writing. This may very well be how the world ends. Backed. Trish 'Miranda' view book

Fantastic first chapter. Your descriptions are dead on and you could feel the suspence throughout. The reader knew the man was doomed from the beginning. This sounds like a wonderful thriller and an absorbing read. It's on my shelve. Trish 'Miranda' view book

Hi, I can see you are a very good writer. I'm sorry, but war stories just don't hold my interest, but the writing is great. I don't understand why you keep changing your line spacing. It's rather confusing. It's makes it dlifficult to know where one paragraph ends and the next one starts. Other tha... view book
