I am a 54-year-old widow with one grown and one almost-grown
daughter. Armed with a degree in journalism from Indiana University, I
have spent the last 30 years scrimping from payday to payday, working whatever
jobs appear to pay anything while writing, writing, writing! My jobs have
included being a disc jockey, substitute teacher, secretary, waitress and
news reporter. I have three novels and two short stories making the
rounds.
I am presently the editor of a small (16 page) weekly
out of Altamont, TN, called The Front Page News. It is the antithesis of
most newspapers in that we are long on opinion, short on objectivity, not
afraid to discuss things not mentioned in polite society (no porn though!),
and champion of the people who feel disenfranchised by society.
