I have been in love with knowledge since early childhood. My favorite babysitter was our hometown public library. There I could satiate my craving for wisdom on all kinds of things that I found interesting and desired to know more about, for example: The Rosetta Stone, Greek myths, Shakespeare, the Bronte Sisters, Edgar Allan Poe, ancient Native American tribes, Bonnie & Clyde, the Titanic, Joan of Arc, Harper Lee, the Salem Witch Trials, and the Civil War. As soon as I could put letters togther on paper, "that was all she wrote". I knew at age 7 that I am a storyteller. Naturally, becoming a writer is a destiny I was created for. This love of gaining and sharing knowledge has mutated into a life's work to be a missionary for wisdom that will enhance, inform, enrich, and inspire other people's lives.
