What is "At The Starting Gate"?

My book, "At The Starting Gate" is written after many years of postponing my hopes and dreams of being a writer. It contains a collection of assorted works. The poetry and short stories range from light and engaging to funny to serious.

The overall purpose of At The Starting Gate is to motivate and inspire others who have put their dreams on the back burner of life. It is a blueprint, a model to hold in your hands to examine, and to realize that you too can write a book like this. It will serve as your inner voice telling you that if she, a 61 year old former housewife and retired mother can do it, you can too.

At The Starting Gate is evidence that it is never too late - there is no better time to start writing than now.
