TAKE A LOOK AT MY BOOKS!!!!!

For most of my life, I have been a writer. As a child, writing was my outlet of expression since social interaction was a difficult task. I was a very quiet and shy child. With a vivid imagination and a desire to share, I wrote from my imagination. As an adult, it was my love for people and my caring heart that led me to become a great listener, a creative teacher, and an impressive writer. Now, after decades of serving as an educator, a counselor, a mother and recently, a grandmother, I have renewed my love for writing. My love for people, my creativity and my desire to give voice to myself and others has prompted to write almost daily during my retirement years. So, here is what has happened in the past year or so. I wrote books. I wrote about 10 books!!!! So, TAKE A LOOK AT MY BOOKS, and purchase them on Amazon.com. They make great Christmas gifts! ENJOY!
