About Me and My Book:
My book is titled, "At The Starting Gate". I am a retired elementary teacher, writer, and first time author. After a forty-year journey through young adulthood, marriage, motherhood, teaching and mentoring I have a new goal. That goal is to encourage others who have put their dreams on hold or on the back burner of life to reach for their dreams. If you have ever thought about writing a book, then my new book is a must have. I proudly introduce my book which is a collection of my poetry and short stories.

My short stories and poetry collection will inspire others to start writing their book. It will help motivate while working through the writing process. MY book is an example aspiring authors can hold, read, examine, and critique. This captivating book provides new writers tangible evidence that they too can write a book

Website Update, Progressing Nicely

I just crashed 'head-on' into another lesson that didn't stick too well with me. The old saying, "don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today", is alive and kicking in my little corner of cyber-world. I've spent the past few days working on my lonely lost website. Right here is where I would normally say I won't put off working on it again, but that is probably not true. For starters, I've added photos to my home page, which always seemed to be missing something. I have also… Continue

Dell Girl Publishing Update

My website has been sitting idle, looking sad forgotten and forlorn too long. In fact, I haven't updated in so long, I feel like a neglectful parent right now. Hopefully, WPS (Website Protective Services) won't be knocking on my cyber-door for a chat. Not to worry though, I am updating it, at least I'll repair or remove any broken links and check and refresh my content. I have also added a new section called Writing Tips. I hope you will visit me at… Continue

About Me

...One day a few years ago I solemly stated to them that I want to be cremated because funerals are too sad and only cause un-necessary grief and hardship on loved ones. They listened semi-casually a few minutes without input. That sent me into a second explanation, thinking they did not approve of the idea. Midway through my first sentence or two, Jordyn interrupted me with, "Okay Ma, okay. We got it. We got it, we will..." Mike interrupted her, "Yea Ma, we heard you. We're going to… Continue

Where's My Writer's Voice

Now that I'm back, I must be patient. I intent to take advantage of this opportunity to network, join and participate in forums, and learn all that I can. Patience is the key...I guess. First and foremost, I will use this forum and time to find my "voice". That phrase pops up everywhere I turn. It seems that a writer's voice plays such a major part in marketing, promoting, and publicizing books that before I do anything else, I need to find mine. I understand that 'slang' is a no-no, that coll… Continue
