Why I Write

Why I write is because my grandmother was a storyteller.  I grew up listening to the most amazing stories.  I’ll give you an example.  My grandparents were driving back from 

a fishing trip at Bing, Oklahoma.  It’s dusk.  In the distance they saw three Indians wrapped in blankets walking down the road. They thought to give them a ride.  As their car got closer, the three Indians disappeared, right before their eyes.  No one said a word and they continued home.  They said in those days this kind of thing happened all the time.
