About a week before I retired from a career in the healthcare field in December 2019, a coworker commented that I should do something from my bucket list. I immediately replied that I would write a novel. I wondered why I had replied so quickly and with such conviction, as I hadn't thought about writing a book since my adolescence. I took a few writing courses in high school and considered college and a career in writing, but decided to go to nursing school instead. I didn't realize writing a novel was on my bucket list. I planned to try writing a novel from March through December 2020, but when COVID-19 kept me indoors, I started writing every day. I wrote the draft for "Beneath A Blanket Of Snow" in ten weeks, and published it in July 2020. Due to the wonderful response to "Beneath A Blanket Of Snow" I am preparing my second novel, "If We Had Known" for publication in April 2021.
