I’ve always been a dreamer. My dad’s business required a lot of
traveling and he would take us with him during summer vacations.
This was way before the days of portable DVD players, GameBoys,
and iPods. We actually had to entertain ourselves. This left a lot of
time for day dreams. As I got older these day dreams began to
evolve into more complicated stories. It would take more than
twenty years before I started putting these stories on paper – and
another ten years before I learned enough about the craft of writing
to make these stories memorable to someone other than myself.
Today, I’m the Box Office Manager for Mobile Ballet during the day.
This is absolutely the perfect job. Where else can you get paid to
watch some of the best dancers in the world?
In my spare time (she says with a perfectly straight face) I still day
dream about a hero who has to learn the true power of love and
heroines who realize they don’t need that man to be complete, but
having him around makes her life richer in the ways that can’t be
counted.
Things haven’t always worked out the way I envisioned. One thing I
do know is that my dream won’t come true if I sit around waiting for
something to happen. I have to go after what I want – and maybe
learn something about myself along the way.
