I can’t get enough of happy endings and love’s expectations being met. Writing is my dream job and I have enjoyed doing it for over forty years. I am disciplined enough to write everyday and mostly, I can’t wait to get on the computer. I feel very fortunate! I hope you like these characters but especially Shelby and Andy. They are good unselfish kids!
