Author bio

I'm happily married and have a beautiful daughter who is married and just blessed us with our first grandbaby. I'm a freelance editor, focusing mostly on fiction but I do take on nonfiction occasionally. I've written four books (self-pubbed one of them) and am about 2/3 of the way through my fifth. I've been away from my writing for too long and am trying to get disciplined and back to it. I miss it. We have a very spoiled sheepadoodle and a tolerant cat.
