My story Fated to Love and Say Goodbye, was featured on the cover of this issue and begins on page 15. This was the first short story I ever wrote and submitted. This was published in November 1989. I remember seeing those magazines stored in an old leather ottoman at my aunt’s beach house when I was a little girl. After that wonderful stroke of publishing luck, I was hooked on writing. I wrote assignment stories for local newspapers including human interest pieces while working full time and raising my son.

I am a big fan of fiction writing and creative nonfiction.
