Biography

 Background Information

As a child, I grew up in Washington State, Ohio, Illinois and Florida.  My first job out of  high school was at a Stock Exchange company.  My first child, a baby girl, was born in 1965.  When my daughter was five, we moved to Texas where I now reside.  I work as a Material Specialist at an Electronics company and have been here for 30 years. I am the mother of  3 children, two daughters and one son.  I have 8 grandchildren.  I workout at the gym 3 days a week, trying to stay healthy.  When I'm not at work or the gym, I work on my children's stories and am currently attempting to write a mystery, which I'm finding out is a lot of work, but I'm loving it.  My book,  "The Nightmare: Dying Without A Will" is my first attempts at getting something published.  I love to play computer games, write my little children's stories, some weight training, and step aerobics. I love to read and draw and do crafts. 

 Accomplishments

   "The Nightmare: Dying Without A Will" is my first book to be published.  I'm learning a lot with this book; things I had no idea about.   In high school, I graduated with honors in the top 10% of my class. I didn't attend college because at the time, I couldn't afford it.  I worked and raised my children.  In 1999, I took a Computer tech A+ course and became a certified tech.  I'm still learning.  In 2002, I took an aerobic instructors course and have become a certified aerobics instructor.  I write two children's stories a week that are posted on a novel website in AOL and would like to get them published some day if I can.  I have a following on AOL, who love the adventures of my little furry characters.
