I used to write books in boarding school so the nuns could not get me to re-do my homework(I finished fast). But when I got older and started to fight with a typewriter, I lost interest. I have loved dogs, Arabian horses, classical music and am an avid reader. How I came to write my book when I was so heartbroken at the end of the movie"The Phantom of the Opera" (yes, I cried, and cried,etc.) I figured the only way to have him find closure was my day dreams of what could have happened to him. was to write it myself. Thank the good Lord for computers. I wish they had been around in the 50's and 60's. My favorite genre's for reading are Historical-fiction or romance, Mystery, Thrillers, some biography, and WWII, Eastern Front, non-fiction or fiction.
