At 73 years of age, I am finally attempting a career as an author. I have dabbled in the world of letters for a number of years, but it wasn't until my granddaughter's life story inspired me that I actually felt I could speak through the written word. Next, I am attempting fiction and keeping my fingers crossed that somehow, someday, I may publish one of the many stories that live in my brain. Ah, the characters who visit me in my mind!
