ABOUT ME

 

I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I spent time raising my children, and didn't attend college until I was in my thirties. I graduated from Seminole Community College and the University of Central FL.

 

When we relocated to Ohio, I worked as a reporter for the Galion Inquirer and later as a free lance writer for the Mansfield News Journal. Then we returned to Florida where I accepted a job working at Seminole State College as an educational advisor. I also did freelance writing for newspapers and magazines during this time. I sold a story to Chicken Soup for the Soul, and sold many stories to the confession magazines.

 

Deciding it was time to retire and do what I always wanted to do, write novels. Sweet Sunset is my first published novel. I like to refer to the book as my dysfunctional family novel. So who doesn't have a dysfunctional family? I've always had a lot of quirky relatives and friends, so writing about these folks was a natural for me.

 

I live in Florida with my husband, Larry, one son, Doug, and three dogs. We also have two grown daughters, Michelle and Diana,  and a grown son, Chris, and a herd of grandkid (a happy dozen.) Our rescue lab, Ellie, finds us boring and loves it when the grands come to play with her. We also have two white schnauzers, Zeus and Icarus.

 

I hope you'll enjoy visiting Myrtle Sue and her wacky family. Drop by anytime for some good cooking.
