What is the aim or goal of your writing:
Words have always intrigued me. I write because I am driven by stories and observations of the world around me. My success can only be attributed to a bit of God-given talent, parents who believed the sky was the limit, and a family life of support and encouragement. My son Geoff, a fulltime writer, has been a great and dedicated example--in this case, the tree doesn't stand far from the apple!
