I love the process of writing. My first positive experience as a budding author occurred in high school. My English teacher's assignment earned me an A when I described how I had managed to cause the sewing instructor's comment, "Connie,there's one in every class." Upon inspecting my work, she discovered the collar backward on the garment. Since then, I have written a novel, poetry book, memoirs and many travel articles. My memoirs and travel articles have been published in the United States in magazines and newspapers.
