Just Between You and Me

About the Book

I have wanted to write for as long as I can remember. After I actually started writing in my mid-thirties, I wanted desperately to write a weekly column for a newspaper. That dream finally came true. Now, over 300,000 words later, my columns will not only be published in a newspaper but also be collected book form--four books to be exact. What are my columns about? Marriage, family, raising my children, reflections, attending college as an adult, humor, diet, exercise, food, recipes, inspiration, my experience with cancer—everything that was going on in my life during this time. My columns have been well received by local readers. I trust that my wider audience will enjoy them also.

About the Author

In addition to writing freelance, I have worked as a bookkeeper, a journalist, a librarian, a church secretary, a sales clerk and payroll clerk, and as Lifestyle Editor of The Easley Progress. Because I chose to stay home with my children, my entire full-time working career lasted only twelve years; my other jobs were part-time. However, writing has always been my passion. My hobbies are growing plants, both inside and out, cooking, trying new recipes, reading, traveling, exercising and spending time with family and friends. My husband Marion and I have three married children and eight grandchildren, ranging in age from twenty-four to one year. Being with them is my greatest joy.
