When I was growing up, every time someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would say that I wanted to be a writer. In college, I was an English Literature and Composition major. I was going to be a high school English Lit teacher, and in my spare time I was going to write the next best-selling novel. I went to my first in-service at Duluth Central High, and decided that there was no way I was going to be in a classroom. I changed majors, got a scholarship through ROTC, and joined the Air Force. For 18 years I put off writing my first novel. When one of my husband’s coworkers sadly passed away suddenly in January of 2014, I decided that life is too short to put off your dreams. Throughout 2014 and 2015, I started working on my first novel. I learned so much about myself and writing in general.
