Welcome!! I love this site. There are many talented and generous writers here. My stories include suspense, the thrill of romance, and coping with loss and illness. Writing comes from a magical place; a land filled with love, pain, tears and hope. If you would like me to read your work, let me know.We have a large and beautiful family. Our home is a cabin by a lake. Breezes whistle poetry through the hardwoods. Please visit my page http://web.me.com/kathie.stehr/Kathies_Korner/Welcome.html
