I write a weekly column for Veterans at Bellaonline Magazine. I facilitate Writers for All Seasons and welcome you to visit one of our meetings. I also am a member of Critters and love critiquing science fiction and fantasy stories each week.
People often ask me when I find time to write as much as I do. It's easy, I spend my time doing what's important to me; everything else takes a back-seat. Most of my life, writing had to take the back-seat. I wrote for decades with no thought of becoming published. There were just too many other necessary responsibilities to do all it takes to market a manuscript. But I never stopped writing. Finally, there came a point in my life when I did have time to invest in the business-side of writing. Four years of 'letters of declination' passed before BellaOnline hired me as the Veterans' columnist and another six months passed before Comfort Publishing bought my first novel. And I'm just beginning!
My favorite authors: not in any certain order, but beginning with CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien and closely followed by Robert Jordan, Louis L'Amour, Rachel Carson, Orson Scott Card, Douglas Adams, and Scott Cunningham. My research comes from many different areas, but a great deal of it comes from A Modern Herbal by Mrs. M Grieve FRHS first published 1931 by Jonathan Cape Ltd. and Wikipedia.
I live in Fern Cottage in a small southern town in the USA. My yard is certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a natural habitat, which means it provides food, shelter, water, and breeding areas for wildlife and does not use fertilizers or pesticides.
Spiritually, I follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. I mention this because, as you read my novels, you may wonder about my spiritual path. I believe there is more grace than sin, more joy than sorrow, and more hope than despair. I believe none of us are strangers to despair, but when given the choice between darkness and light, we should choose the light. I believe we are placed on this earth to help each other, but we are just visiting here. We are souls who during these brief years have a body. I am an ordained Elder, I sing in the choir and I facilitate the McLeod Prayer Shawl Ministry at McLeod Memorial Presbyterian Church.
