Living in New Hampshire, I have a strong love for animals and life, though I have never crossed into the thresh hold of becoming a vegetarian.

I have two children who are now grown and have left the coop, but the lives they live, bring me inspiration to write about the struggles of being a teenager in the current world as it is now.

A story I wrote, "A Night to Remember", which is currently posted on Fictionwritersgroup.com, is to be my first story focused on teenage life. It is posted as an unedited version. I am currently working on the editing of it at this time.

I am working to turn it into a young adult novel, to be called "Choices". I am open to comments, as I will take them as all constructive.

Being a novice, I am learning how to put my stories down on paper, with the help of Dave from Fictionwritersgroup.com. and other friends I have made recently on ning.com.

I am trying a different technique when it comes to beginning my stories, whether it is a short story or a novel. I begin the draft by writing all the dialogue first. This method seems to help me find some flow for my story movement.

I have not currently published any works as of yet. All help will be greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to learn how to have my works published in magazines. And, when my story Choices is complete, I would like to learn how to publish this also.
