I am a middle-aged mother of three. My husband is a truck driver instructor for a local community college. I have lived in the same rural area for my entire life. Being a wife and mother are my full time positions, but I also am a freelance writer. I have been a contributing writer for our local newspaper for six years, published in many Christian publications including Christian Communicator, Today's Christian and The LookOut. I am the process of publishing my first woman's contemporary novel entitled, "Gradual Hope." It is a tiny effort to provide hope for those suffering from cancer and/or supporting loved ones that have cancer.
