So my husband has decided to take a chance on me....

A few years ago, Paul took a chance. We talked about it, and he agreed that I could work from home instead of the toxic place my old job had become. And I did. We didn't do badly. I made at least as much money as I did at the hotel, even though I had to pay for my own health coverage.

Flash forward two years and we find that Paul is willing to take another chance. My dream when I left the old job was to become a writer. My other work at home job was supposed to be supplemental income. That job, however, suddenly became a full time job in and of itself. So now, Paul said step back, take a deep breath, and go for it.

So, as of June 1, 2016, I will be a full time author. (Pauses for the panic to subside.)



This will be the first book out in my 'new' job.
