I've been a writer since I was 10 years old, and I discovered I could write down the things my imagination created. When I was 12, I decided that one day I'd write a novel and publish it... and now, at 51, I finally did it. Along the way, I lived in South America, have been a teacher, have had my own editing business, and have worked for many indie authors. It looks like life has always been preparing me for this.
