Welcome to my web site. I'm so glad you stopped by. I've been writing, teaching and speaking for over 30 years. I got hooked on writing when my third grade teacher assigned students to write and illustrate a book for a class project. I don't remember the title of mine but I do remember the satisfaction I felt over having created something for others to read and enjoy. I knew then I wanted to be a 'real' writer some day and see a book of mine on a library shelf.

Over the years I've written many books and articles for a variety of publishing companies and magazines. Every day I look forward to going to my desk and putting my thoughts together for the assignments I'm working on. In recent years I've focused on writing humor for seniors, including the best-sellers, Help, Lord! I'm Having a Senior Moment and Gettin' Old Ain't For Wimps. Two of the books are now on CD, as well.

I also take great pleasure in helping others with their writing. I teach for two schools online––Long Ridge Writers Group––and the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild––and love every minute of it. And I'm on the teaching staff at the Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference each spring.

If you're inclined toward writing and you'd like to explore what's involved in writing professionally, I invite you to look into the courses and see if one of them is right for you.

In addition to writing, teaching and speaking at writing conferences and an occasional women's event, I am also a wife, mother, and grandmother. My husband, Charles Flowers, and I have five children and fourteen grandchildren. We live along the Central Coast of California, rich with farmland, foothills, forests and the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

Again, thank you for visiting. I hope you'll experience God's abundant blessings every moment of your day. And please come back again.
