Becoming a writer is a new interest for me. I've been an avid reader since the day my dad helped me get my first library card at the age of 8. The first book I checked out was Black Beauty! Oh, how much I loved horses and still do. I started riding around that time on my neighbor's horses. Not by myself back then mind you. I later drifted to Doc Savage, Man of Bronze! But, Cerantes', Don Quixote and Russka, by Edward Rutherfurd are my two all-time favorites. I've traveled halfway around the world and most of the USA from eight years of military service and transfers by different electronic companies where I have worked.
