A Wild Rose in Spring

You could say that my love for writing began in grade school, when my young imagination was expressed through story telling. My time in study hall (remember study hall?) was spent creating characters, developing story structure and plot, in other words—writing stories. Once I had a family of my own my stories, unfortunately, ended up in a drawer where they sat for nearly two decades. After graduating from college with a business degree, I began my career as a technical writer. I developed training modules, wrote office policy, and employee handbooks. Needless to say, technical writing did not provide the creativity I craved, and so, seven years ago I decided to pull my short stories, poetry, and the beginnings of a novel out of my drawer and began my writing journey.
