Being reared by a family that always had a ghost, historic, or amusing story to share. I can remember tales of haunted houses, haunted graveyards, stories of the Civil War, times of struggle, bygone days of the horse and wagon, or taunting a frien or family member. My Great Aunt, always ready to share a good story as she seemed to enjoy a wide-eyed youngster eager to listen to her never-ending folktales of a haunted house or graveyard, my grandfather which weaved his stories of times gone by, or many other family members eager to share with me as a young lad.
Now as an older adult and those cherished family members have since passed on. I enjoyed sharing a few stories to a select few and never planned to write until encouraged by a teacher from one of the many on-line courses I have taken as I consider myself to be a lifelong student and I am forever asking about or wish to learn more about history, science, or literature.
Born and raised in the south and having traveled across this great country it has given me ample opportunity to meet those ready to share or hear a story or two. Pulled from those gone on, enriched by friends met on my travels, and my own added twist makes each suspense, Western, or wherever my next story may take me
