This month's question:
What started you on your writing journey? Was it a particular book, movie, story, or series? Was it a teacher/coach/spouse/friend/parent? Did you just "know" suddenly you wanted to write?​
​

As a kid, I loved the magic of being transported by a book, and I realized early on that I wanted to create that magic for others. My journey took some twists and turns, with a corporate detour along the way, but writing was always an interest.

In 2020, I’m thrilled that my middle grade story "The Third Ghost" is part of the new IWSG Voyagers anthology. You can learn more on the blog devoted to IWSG anthologies.
