ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I have completed over fifty short stories, three novellas, two serials to my credit and dozens of articles. Most of my writing began for the High School and College Newspapers. It was a hobby at first but the fun and passion started in college where I found a small following of fans who believed in me...

"You know, I wondered where this era had gone. After reading a sampling of some really "now" and more up-to-date stuff, I'd just about decided that a lot of the innocence from way back was completely gone. Again, refreshing in it's innocence. Cheers to your grandma - some lady. Enjoyed the visit back in time. SMCK" -- Stephanie Mckinney.
