About the Author

I was born and have lived all my life in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. The keeping of journals and writing, mostly short stories, as far back as I can remember has always been a passion of mine. I have always loved to read and write and with the encouragement of my son took a big step and decided to actually publish this book and let others read it and tell me what they think. For the past twenty years, I have worked as an Administrative Assistant for different firms, raise three sons and have had numerous hobbies but have always tried to make time to write. Fiction is what I like to write best because the writer can manipulate the twists, turns and characters of the story the way they like. It is a way to enjoy and to get lost in the characters lives and surroundings even though it may not be the way it actually is in real life. So sit back, put you feet up and enjoy your time in “Touching Each Other’s Lives”.
