I've been writing since I was about seven.  My aunt Dore was a major early influence on my formative brain cells.  She would mesmerize me with her stories while she coaxed me to eat...as I was a very picky eater and a skinny kid with knobby knees, who always loved to dance.  Other influences were Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Hopalong Cassidy, and the whole gamut of cowboys and cowgirls riding across that small TV screen.  Loved the BIG SCREEN, too.  Western music became my favorite and still is although I'm eclectic when it comes to music.  And reading.  I favor books with hopeful, upbeat endings.  Life is too short to waste time on dark and gloomy endings. Later, I attended The University of Denver and graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC.  What an eye-opener to live in Manhattan for a young woman from Denver, CO! I'm an eternal optimist, except when I receive a rejection letter from an editor. <g>  Chocolate comes in handy for those occasions.  I'm grateful for all the friends I've made in the writing world along this road to publication.  One needs to have friends and BE a friend.  Laughter is always welcome.
