My story

Some identify with the quote "Home is where your story begins." Many of my stories begin at home, with my family. But many also have come from my professional career as an RN where I was privileged to share in a part of the stories of others lives. It is what I know, and the first meaningful advice I got about writing was "Write what you know." That is where I began my professional writing career.

  1. Sounds like you got some really good advice. I really need to get a copy of the book. You may or may not know; my earlier career was in fact ...in the field of medicine. I spent 22 years in that field, some of it in the hospital and so your book would probably hit home.

    I really enjoyed our time together today. Let's do it again.
