For almost two decades now, I have worked up to this moment.
When my teaching career was nearing an end, I began to think about writing. I enrolled in an evening class and was greatly inspired. Other courses followed, many writers' conferences, and years of practice honing the skills.
My interest in family history and repeated efforts to gather stories earned me the title of "family historian." More importantly, I became the custodian of family archival treasures--letters, photos, books, articles, memorabilia.
A strong compulsion to share these findings led me to begin with my life story.
It has taken me a long time to claim, "I am a writer." And even longer, to decide how, where, and when to publish my book.
The time has come. The plan is to publish on this blog page, one chapter on the 1st and 15th of every month. Beginning in March, look for both an English and a Spanish version.
I am grateful to my old friend, Julio Reta, who is partnering with me to make available a Spanish Argentine-nuanced translation.
Come back Monday, March 1, 2021!
Yay!
