Every writer I know loves to read. That certainly is the case with me. When I was a kid, I would do my chores on Saturday morning with a book in hand (usually a Nancy Drew mystery). It was easy to multi-task if I was running the vacuum cleaner; not so easy if I was ironing. I remember describing to my mother, in great detail, the setting of a story I was reading, telling her what the campground in the book looked like—right down to the pine needles cushioning the ground. “You should have seen it!” I told my mom. She replied, “It’s like you were there.” And I was. Story has the power to draw in readers and take them to a completely new place. It was an experience I treasured and craved. At age ten, I knew I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. And that’s exactly what I did.
For the past three decades, I’ve been blessed to have my work published in scores of newspapers and magazines, and I have authored fourteen books. I write what I write because I must—the subject matter lures me, hooks me, drives me to tell a story. And along the way, I hope my readers find themselves right smack dab in the middle of that story.
