What is the aim or goal of your writing: "I attribute my writing as a God-given gift and to bring joy to others. I write when the Lord nudges me." 2nd ed. says, "Though I was born in Canada, I have spent all but four years of my life in Michigan. Mother was born in Nunica, Michigan and Father in Manhattan, Kansas. I'm an old-fashinioned gal with a modern outlook. Up to a point."
