I have often wondered about the source of creativity. One of my sons is a successful musician in Los Angeles. I don’t have a musical cell in my body, but through the family male line, he is a third generation musician. Is music in his DNA? On the other hand, I have loved writing since I was a child. I still have poems I wrote during my childhood. From the eighth grade forward I wrote for my school newspapers. My first published book was the true story of my youngest son’s struggle with brain cancer. Written in poetry and prose, entitled Stephen’s Gift, the second edition is available on Amazon. My first novel A Place to Be is a romantic suspense story. The heroine is a reporter named Kate Dorsey. Following a story, she is kidnapped by a drug cartel. She falls in love with the stranger who rescues her, but which side of the law is he on. I am working on my second novel In the Name of Freedom. It follows Kate into new suspense. In fact Kate should wear a tee shirt with Trouble written across it because danger always finds her.
