The tumbleweed metaphor works well in describing the process of this book – it tumbled all over the place and then rested in a corner somewhere for years before it was blown to a new resting place.
I saw my high school journalism Margie Miller, in the 80’s and she asked me, “will you give me a copy of your first book?”
I was shocked! I never entertained that thought, but the seed was planted.
I also remember a comment my Uncle Tanky made after he read an essay I wrote for a high school. I was registered to go to Cosmetology school that fall, and Uncle Tanky commented you could so much more with your writing skills.
So this tumbleweed went this direction and that for many years.

I am a retired teacher. I taught middle school for 20 years and then worked at the district level for 7 years.
I love to write, read, dance and travel. Computers are also a passion of mine.
My brother and I inherited our family ranch five years ago, so I am now a ranch manager!
My new writing project is a biography of Marshall Flippo, a 91-year-old world renowned square dance caller. Flippo recently passed away. I have over 40 hours of recorded interviews with him that will be the basis of his biography
I am also working on a women's fiction and a poetry collection. Retirement is great!
