Do you have questions for me about my writing, my books, my thoughts on life? Send them through the Contact form and I’ll answer them here.
Where you are from and where are you now?
I grew up in Kilgore, Texas, in the East Texas Piney Woods, went to Baylor University in Waco, TX before I ended up in Dallas for 25 years. I now live at South Padre Island, Texas, at the southern most tip of the state.
How did you get started writing?
I don’t ever remember not writing. In high school I wrote poetry, but even before that when I was just a little girl I wanted to be a journalist, so I wrote little stories on leftover typing paper at my house. In college I wrote feature stories for a local newspaper and for the college newspaper.
I taught English and journalism and then became director of communications for the school district. In that job, I wrote stories every day. I had numerous articles published in professional journals, but I always wanted to write a novel. When I retired, I began my first novel, which turned out to be Keeping Faith.
