- In the mid-seventies, I joined an amazing group of musicians and
friends and we formed a band called The Magnatones. With the
awesome talent of Joey Ethridge, Philip Whaley, Leon Williams, and
Lamar McKenzie, and with Terry Rush in the studio, mixing and
recording, The Magnatones couldn't miss. Ah, youth. Ain't it grand?
But with children, PTA meetings, homeroom parties, cub scouts, and
brownies, and, well, need I say more? Life veered onto another
course.
- I became a single parent with three children and the day-to-day
routines of work, school, home, and the joys and hardships that
accompany them. I met my wonderful husband, Tim, and with him I
gained a beautiful daughter, making my life filled with four awesome
children. It was my husband's encouragement that prodded me to
return the desires of my past.
- In 1999, I started a serious journey as a writer, taking workshops from
the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), including the Yoknapatawpha
Writers’ Workshop, Southern Breeze (SCBWI) Writing and Illustrating
for Kids Conference, and more. I received my Diploma in Creative
Writing from England's Open College for the Arts, as well as three
diplomas on children's literature from the Institute of Children's
Literature. I've completed accredited writing courses in playwriting,
poetry, and fiction from Writers Digest and Gotham Writers, earning
Gotham Writers Fiction Writing Certificate. After writing sunup to
sundown, the crushing blow of each rejection didn't serve to
discourage, but to encourage me toward polished writing with well-
developed plots and three-dimensional characters. Therefore, I
started stories, poetry, and songs over...and over...and over...and over
again.
- But isn't life like that anyway, starting over...and over....and over
again? Going back to the starting line to run the race again and again
isn't a sign of failure. Walking away from the race is.
