Hooper’s journey still continues to amaze me. The things that he and I are learning together, about both of us and his world, are both wonderful and sobering. Like any journey through life, right?
I can’t wait to see what’s around the next bend in the river or high on the mountain top for him . . . and me.
As always, thanks to all who’ve mentored me in this grand journey of being a literary storyteller, it’s been a great ride.

She’s also the author of Write or Wrong, a nifty reference manual that all authors should have in their personal library as well as Breakpoint Down, an excellent mystery novel.
You might want to check out her newsletter, Word for Word, just for writers that will help you avoid the pitfalls and potholes of writing in this convoluted language we call English, or as I sometimes refer to it, Anguish. You can subscribe to her newsletter by contacting her via email.
As always, dedicated to the girl of my dreams and fantasies, my eternal sweetheart, Pamela and to our children and grandchildren who fill our days with wonder and awe.
