Thanks for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself in your famous Readers Magnet Author Lounge, and thank you, Katherine Lindsay, for encouraging me to share my expanding authorship and my expanding bookshelf.
It has always been a passion of mine to write. I was officially retired in 2019, around the COVID days. This is the right time in my life to sit down and pick up the pen. After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write and publish children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past.
I started with Children’s stories that my grandchildren might like to hear or read.
It’s time in my life to be creative and to use my imagination. I hope you find some pleasure in my scribblings, and dear readers, thank you for your time.
Kindly provide your feedback. With the first step taken, like a lot of my life, I don’t have any idea where the journey will take me.
