\A dark and stormy night\

This is just a bit of info to let you know who I am and what I do.

I'm happily married and have one daughter.

I've been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil, was first published in a newspaper at age 11 and won a local writing contest at age 12.
 
I write a variety of things including: poetry, limericks(clean), short stories, children's stories, mysteries, and how-to's.
 
I've taken many courses in English and greatly enjoy writing. I have experience at designing and writing advertising copy, proofreading, writing columns, reporting, and editing.

I live in a small town in farm country and it's beautiful here.
 
I will be posting some of my own writing on this site along with a great deal of helpful writing and publishing information. I will also post many writing hints and tips.
 
As you can tell by the name of this site, I really like mysteries.

Just FYI: I have a good chat friend in Australia who does woodcrafts. He's very talented and has set up an online store. He's an older gentleman and can use the extra income since he is retired. Please check out his store. You'll be surprised when you see what he has there.

Note: If you have any helpful hints, advice, or suggestions for anything I should include on this site, please feel free to email them to me.
 
I want to make this a helpful site for writers, so I want to include as much info on writing as I can.
