The Magic in her Gift (19 page)

He romanced me daily with love letters,
flowers and phone calls. It wasn’t long before I uprooted myself
and moved west to join him. We married in 1999 and then continued
our fantasy romance all over the world. Together we have traveled
in almost all of the Continental United States and taken trips to
Canada and China.

I retired from working in
2002 and it wasn’t long before my husband was encouraging me to
find some kind of outlet to occupy my time, something that was
challenging and rewarding. I was already obsessed with reading
about romance and I began to think I could probably write a good,
romantic story. My husband heartily agreed with me. With that
encouragement, I began writing my first book. I wasn’t really
convinced that anyone else would find it interesting, but he
pressed me to take a chance and send it in to a publisher. To my
surprise, it was accepted and now I’m able to share it with readers
everywhere who like a
happily ever
after
story.

Today, I’m living in California with
my, still romantic, husband of twelve years and our boys. Our boys
consist of Beau, Midnight and Bubba, three male cats that allow us
to live with them and serve them at their leisure. I continue to
write almost daily, hoping that someone somewhere will get the same
enjoyment from reading my stories that I get from writing
them.
