"Yesterday's gone on down the river and you can't get it back" - Larry McMurtry, who I share a birthday day with, though we are separated by exactly 40 years. I was born and bred in Texas, where I met my high school sweetheart and married him. In college I majored in English, with a minor in Psychology, but also had plenty of hours in Photography, sign language, and Anthropology, (as I was enjoying learning so much... at least that is my excuse for taking 6 years to get that silly little degree). Rodeo was always my sport of choice, but I've loved competing in water and snow skiing, lifting weights, and swimming or diving. Yellow Labs are my favorite breed of dog, but I'm not exclusive. I love all canines, it's just that I favor the large working breeds. My favorite movie is Gone With The Wind, because, 'frankly my dear, I don't give a damn'. My favorite book is Lonesome Dove, and I dream of being a writer in the same class as Larry McMurtry. When possible, I avoid vegetables. My food group of choice is ice cream, and I am a Blue Bell Ice Cream snob. My goal in writing is to tell a story that captures and influences the audience. I hope you laugh and cry with Tory, and miss her and her supporting cast after you've turned the last page. Book Two will follow shortly. Thank you!
