Dolores J. Wilson

I was born a coal miner’s daughter in Morgantown, West Virginia. At age eleven, we moved to Tampa, Florida. Quite a culture shock from that little coal mining town. My writing background consists of a neighborhood newspaper my cousin and I published at age twelve. It was full of neighborhood gossip. Thank goodness we were too young to be sued for slander. In junior high school, I wrote a few articles for the school newspaper, mostly food articles. Hence, the seeds for my love of writing and food were planted.

In my first attempt at writing a novel, my hero was wimpy, my heroine was almost never in the story, and the actual writing left something to be desired. I had to do something. So began my journey of writing classes, RWA chapter meetings, and conferences. I found an eclectic group who not only shared my passion for writing, but were also not afraid to share the writing knowledge they had acquired along the way. I'm thankful to have found so many interesting people.

Someone is always asking, "How do you come up with that stuff?" For a long time, I'd answer, "It comes from a sick mind.” Until one day it dawned on me no one ever argued the point. But I didn't take offense because they always smiled. I like to make people smile, and if I can make them laugh out loud, that’s even better.

I hope that my writing brings a smile to your lips, or at least warms your heart.
