A friend once said, it only takes one person to change the direction of your life. Well, it happened to me and I started writing. Raised in rural West Virginia and the daughter of a coal miner, my first job was with the hometown newspaper. I now live in the seaside village of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. We have a saying in our town... "a quaint drinking village with a fishing problem." I love to fish. My favorite quote is "Gardeners know the best dirt." I'm the type of person that has to be in the know, the inner circles, the front lines. I love gardening too. Favorite genre is anything with a true story. I'd be thrilled to get your friend request.
