"Almost Time to Leave" is my second memoir. My first memoir I titled "All Them Houses - Part One". I wrote the first memoir nearly 10 years ago and I have yet to write Part Two. Memoir is extremely challenging to write, in my opinion, but also very satisfying and cathartic.
Both memoirs are available on all Amazon sites. If you like reading memoir, thanks for checking them out.

From the author: Throughout the past two years writing my memoir has been a most difficult challenge, however, I am happy that I have, at last, completed part one. I hope one day, in the not too distant future, to be publishing part two which will be titled All Them Houses – from John, Paul, to Bedlam.I am an ordinary woman. Each day I put one foot in front of the other and live my life, but there have been times throughout the past seventy-four years when I have felt like my life has been living me. I have sometimes felt like I am a stranger outside; an observer looking in on events that I don’t always understand. This writing has been cathartic for me, but I hope interesting to a reader. I find memoir writing to be very challenging, much more difficult than fiction writing and, for me, it is a very slow process. I can only hope I will live long enough to complete part two. At the same time I always hope that I will not out-live myself. Yes, it is true; I live in hope.These excerpts from my life are true from my perspective and as I experienced them.I encourage all women to write a memoir.
