How I Became a Writer and Artist Writing has not been my forte all my life. Although I took a BA in English and became a public school teacher, I spent 13 years as a stay-at-home mom. Even though I have always read and helped our kids with assignments, I never wrote much since university.…
I enjoy reading books to my children and when Janis Cox our Community Mentor Mom shared The Kingdom of Thrim with me I was thrilled.
