Did you ever let go of something good so you could do something even better? That's how I feel about retiring from my beloved teaching career in order to write full time. I have loved my job teaching English and Creative Writing at Seton Hill, especially my many wonderful students and colleagues. It's been a huge part of my life for thirty years. But I finally reached a point where my writing can support me, and it's wonderful to be able to put my full focus into writing my stories. In addition to my upcoming Hometown Brothers series, you can expect to hear about some new projects in coming months as I put my newfound writing time to good use. Full time writing is a longtime dream of mine, and I'm so thrilled to finally be able to bring that dream to life.
