Born in the car, I haven't slowed down since. Started reading at 3. Started writing at 54. (I had a lot of research to do...). I can't blame any of my writing on a spouse, a dog or a cat since I don't have any of those. I can say my kids had a lot to do with it. Mostly the nutty parts. And my parents-DEFINITELY the nutty parts. The rest is all in my mind. I hope you enjoy the trip.
