I've Retired!!!!!

At 74 years of age, I finally decided enough is enough. I retired from my part time job at Wal-Mart and now plan to devote many, many more hours to my writing. As a matter of fact, I have already completed a children's novel, "The Room With the Piano". It's a mystery type and after I do rewrites, etc., I will be beating the bushes to get it published.



This novel came about when I ran across a piece I had written during a writing course - just the beginning of a story, really. And with my new-found interest in children's books and my research for info about writing and promoting them, I thought that piece would make a good beginning for a children's mystery story.



I've just returned from a semi-vacation at a family reunion. It is so seldom we can get everyone together at the same time, this was a great week. We met in Checotah, Oklahoma, which is equi-distant for all of us. Some of us live here in Hobbs, others in Albuquerque, and still others in southern Illinois.



I guess I'd better get the horses and dogs fed and get to my laptop. Incidentally, I have one female Pomeranian puppy for sale now. She's a cream color, eight weeks old, from 4-5 pound parents. Anyone interested? I'll take $275 for her and make delivery arrangements.
