I give credit where credit is due: Nancy Drew.  As a wee library dweller I dog eared Nancy's collection with relish and found in her a fervent need to tell my own tale.  I wrote in anything that took to pen or pencil and haven't stopped.  Be it fiction, non-fiction, memoir or poetry I find I'm happiest when purposed.  Writing is my purpose.  It is the makeup of all that I am and I feel exceptionally fortunate for having the understanding and resources to pursue it each and every day.

I adore Kazuo Ishiguro and stand behind his simple assertion that "I could have led another life, but I'm living this one."  A declaration I'll gladly stand behind.
