Never had it! I'm not great at talking. You know the type that can talk for hours. Not me. I write.

For me, I am so proud of the finished book! Now I am paying it forward. I want to turn a negative (losing my daughter) into a positive. The profits will be going to a charity that is near and dear to my heart.

Don't give up! Write and re-write and re-write! I let a few close family members read my memoir. It was still rough. My newspaper editor read it and gave me lots of interesting comments. Then I got a professional critique and that gave me the finished book.

I have all the research for the next book. My mother was eight years old when Germany took over her country. She was the youngest with five older brothers living in northern Holland. It is a very interesting story about heartache and survival.

I wrote a humor column for almost 25 years (nearly 500 columns) in several Houston area newspapers. I learned to write on a deadline. My goal was 750 words. I had my idea by Sunday and over the next few days fleshed out a draft. By Wednesday at noon, I was ready to push "send."

My severely handicapped daughter, Mimi, passed away unexpectedly in late 2018. Two months later my husband had a brain tumor appear. I had met with a grief counselor one time. I knew cancer would over take our lives. I was not able to process my grief for my daughter, so I decided to write a book to deal with my grief while fighting the brain tumor.
