I began a new career with a chance enrollment in a Creative Writing course at age 62. Although an avid reader I had never considered writing as a vocation, but I was told that I was a natural born storyteller. I was off and running.
Then at age 75, I married Dr. Ainslee Gruen, age 86. We had both lost beloved lifetime spouses and my next novel, already in the works, is based on senior love. Ains and I have a boat, a canoe, and a camping trailer. We love to fish and sail - and laugh and hold each other tight - thankful for all life has provided. |
Eugenia Price, a Southern novelist, is my role model. I write about real people and real places within a fictional framework. My husband was a guide at the Gettysburg National Battlefield so historical fiction and the Civil War were natural for me. I am also an incurable romantic so a love story is woven into every plot.
My first two novels, THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE and THE REBERTS OF LITTLESTOWN, while not memoirs, are family sagas based on my ancestors during the Civil War years. FREDERICA SUMMER is set at Fort Frederica, Georgia during the 1742 invasion by the Spanish. During the summer I live in a retirement community in Chambersburg, Pennslvania so my fourth and fifth novels; ECHOES OF THE FALLING SPRING and ECHOES FROM THE MIST, are set in that historic town during the Civil War and late 19th century.
Please pick out a good book for yourself and let that book transport you into another world and time. I hope you enjoy my website!
