I am a writer, a wife, a lover of animals, a teacher, a reader, and a genealogist.
I grew up in an era where children were to be seen and not heard. Books became my safe place; a place where I could live out adventures. The characters, whether human or animal became my best friends. I could share secrets and ideas with them. I could even have imaginary conversations with them. I think this experience is what inspired me to become a writer.
An unexpected fact about me is that in many of my novels I often include incidents with snakes. I think the reason is because I spent thirteen days in the hospital recovering from a rattlesnake bite. I can tell you that being zipped up in a body bag and being covered with ice was a scary experience.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy working crossword puzzles, dining out (who doesn't love to get out of kitchen duty?), traveling, and catching up on my ever growing to be read list.
I enjoy hearing from readers and respond to every comment. So don't be shy. Let me hear from you.
Love it, Loretta! Hope this goes through okay.

ReplyDeleteHello Dawne, thanks for your kind comments. We're kindred souls in the snake department. I'm really paranoid where they are concerned.
