MOST ASKED WRITER QUESTION
WHEN DID YOU START TO WRITE?
MY ANSWER. I began writing at the ripe old age of 8. New England winters are long and so was the Whipple Family series that I wrote. Way too long and not as amusing as I’d thought.
And then I wrote the 6th-grade play, followed by the 9th-grade radio drama about Harriet Beecher Stowe.
After college I wrote broadcast material in Miami and Los Angles for almost 30 years. My first paid positions. On the side I wrote historical romance novels suggested by a friend who eventually quit leaving me hooked and determined. Until one day, my first sale! To Kennsington Publishing in New York.
Today I am eighty-two years old, plus, and my latest cozy novel, “Murder at the Blue Oyster Grill” will be released by The Wild Rose Press this summer. I may be living proof that you are never too old. A new hobby, a new life, a new love and, well, most anything is in within reach if you have a bit of passion and a dash of determination. I am still writing, still loving the adventure. Still living the dream.
On the side I write a separate blog, a departure from the fun fantasy and escapism of my novels. I’m blogging about the challenges of aging- with a sense of humor. (Because I don’t wish to be 83 without a sense of humor!) Check my blog out at:
