Welcome to my site! I’m excited to share this new experience with everyone.
Now retired from teaching, I have the time to blog and write. Two books are in the making, and many short stories live in my laptop. They include stories about animals (talking and not), about regular people, a fantasy, and even a zombie story. I’m presently working on a collection of Bible stories.
Two of my shorts are in anthologies (Voices from the Plains, volume III and volume IV, published by the Nebraska Writers Guild. Two short stories have been published in an Australian school magazine.
When I’m not writing
Our small acreage is home to eleven older cats and three teenage kittens, a disabled ewe, and too many chickens.
My fingers are relearning where the black and white keys are on my newly restored pump organ. My other learning challenge is a smart phone.
In relationship to this site, I’m not a perfectionist, but grammar and punctuation are important to some readers.
Over the years, I’ve learned something about writing. Punctuation, spelling, and word order all matter, but the most important aspect of our writing is the message we convey. There’s a whole world out there waiting to hear from us. What we say can change a life—maybe two lives, even three lives, … who knows how many?
