Hard to believe I've been on Writing.com for 16 years. Life gets away from you when you're not paying attention. I'm published and have since established a freelance writing business. I've earned a master's in creative writing, written about 6 new novels, and honed my skills. Eager to invest in other writers and share and learn from experienced professionals like myself. My style continues to evolve, as does my voice, and the ideas and characters remain unmovable in their persistence to pester me into submission.
