Hey. Hi. Hello.
There’s always so much pressure for a first blog post. It needs to be engaging, set the tone, and entertaining. You should let your readers know who you are and what they can expect. That’s a pretty tall order for one post. Let’s take it a little slower….mkay?
As a kid, I loved to read, finishing books as quickly as I could I get my hands on them. I recall aspiring to be an English teacher who would spend summers at the beach writing novels. Ahhh, the imagination of youth where high school teachers can afford summer cottages in Nantucket. (Side note: teachers are amazing, especially public school teachers, they deserve so much more including a salary they don’t have to subsidize by working a second job!)
Life had other plans. I got married right out of high school, dropped out of college, and had babies- 4 in 4 years. My job was raising them, maintaining a home, and trying to survive all the curveballs life was throwing at me with the speed of a major league pitcher.
The closer I got to 50, the more I thought about what I wanted to do. My youngest was grade school age, our older kids were out of the house and making their way in the world, and life’s pace slowed. It was finally time for me to sit down and write that book. So, I did. I found out how much I loved it! I love creating these characters and sharing their stories. More importantly, I love reminding readers that love, romance, and good sex still happen after 30. I’ll let you in on a little secret…all of that stuff gets better!
I’m so happy you’ve found me and I hope you enjoy the things I write!
