I missed your question!! Yes, I do. My daughter had an addiction problem for over thirty years. She had finally gone to a rehab program when she was forty-two and had gotten clean. I had no idea that she had relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose in February 2020. I wrote the book to educate parents about drugs, prevention and interventions. There are resources for parents also. I wish these things had been available years ago. I also shared some personal stories about her in the book and on the website: https://herstarforevershines.wordpres...

I'm not sure that I have a mystery per se. If I were to use my life in a novel, it would be one that addresses family dysfunction over the generations. Maybe I'd weave a mystery in it to make it more exciting, rather than just the jealousy and nastiness that it was. How would that be?(less)

Achieving Tranquility in Life

I started my writing journey after retiring as a full-time social worker in 2015. My goal was to write a novel. I figured that because I like to read, I’d also be able to write a book. I was right. After a few online classes with a university, I wrote my first novel, When Shadows Linger. After a few months of submitting my manuscript to publishers and agents, two factors influenced my decision to Read more of this blog post »
