Love this so much! That newspaper pic of you - priceless. And Ranger Rick! What a thoughtful dedication ☺️. And your John Fogerty reference immediately had me singing.

I was a high school and college athlete. I played volleyball for 32 years, pretty competitively too, right up until weeks before lockdown. Haven’t been able to play since. I was the opposite of you - great at offense, not so great at defense 😂

Katrina, my heart warmed when I scrolled to the image of your first book.

I wrote mine around that age, too.

At age 10, I entered the young authors' conference with my friend (and co-author) Kristine. Our book was titled, The House on Haunted Hill, a mystery.

From that point onward, my dream was to become a published author.

The thing is, I am a published author. But I'm still unsatisfied with the level of "success" I've attained. I needed to go to the next step, and, like you, I'm trying.

It's arduous. But I think if you love anything, the pain is worth the effort necessary.

What precious keepsakes you have. The fact that you are still in the game, still writing, means you are winning.
