When I was in 5th grade I was obsessed with Nancy Drew. In fact, my parents, being the enablers they are, actually signed me up for the Nancy Drew Book Club. This meant that every month I got two new 'double' books, which gave me four new mysteries to devour a month. Of course I had them done well before the month was over and was anxiously awaiting the mail every month.

Until that fated day when I had finally exhausted the series. It was such a sad day for me, that I remember deciding that I'd have to write my own girl detective mysteries.

My fifth grade teacher, Mr. Clements, had the honor of being presented with my first attempt at writing. He was such a good sport. I'm sure he wanted to laugh out loud, but he smiled and told me to keep on writing.

And I did.

After the birth of my first child I took a fiction writing course, finishing it with an A+ average. But then a second child, PTA and mom activities followed by a mid-life career sidetracked my dream of writing.
Until I discovered blogging. It started with a personal blog, and then when I started my business, a business blog.

Today I write for 5 blogs, 2 associated with my business and 3 as contributing editor of blogs belonging to others. I've also written two e-books. One for businesses interested in working with a virtual assistant and my latest, the VA Survival Guide for virtual assistants. But somewhere, buried deep beneath my business woman persona is that little girl that exclaims, "But it's not Nancy Drew!"
