Hello, World! was born and raised an honest to goodness Southern Belle from Alexandria, La. I have a daughter who gave me 5 grandchildren. Since I can remember at an early age, I made up stories and wrote them in a journal. I told these stories to all my grandchildren as they loved listening to my short stories. I attended A.U. in Tuscon, Az. Took a semester "Writing your first book." I learned very much from my professors and classmates as we had to copy our book and handed them out to be critiqued by my peers. All my nieces, nephews, and grands loved to hear my stories. They pop in my head so easily. I also love the genre mystery, Christian Fiction, comedy, and hope to write my Autobiography. My hobbies are jewelry making, crocheting, hiking, and critiquing. I also am a member of Fanstory.com and won Best Recognized in Poetry. I am also on linked. I am happy to be here.
