In childhood, bedridden with polio, I lived my very kind, hard working, and loving grandparents. Was extremely joyful and grateful when, with braces, my grandparents let me go wobble downstairs the stairs and to their general store and or up a narrow stairway to the attic where books were kept; there, sitting by a window, I read and watched horses drink water from a large pila.
Other than nasty relatives I had Dorita, a kind aunt. I loved staying in her hacienda. In my early teens, I able to walk with braces I was sent from boarding school to California, to live with my mom and step dad.
As soon as I was of age I got a work permit and a job. Soon I saved and bought a Rambler. Then working in the garment industry I took modeling lessons. Was a model and a dancer, with a very well know Hollywood agent, until I met and married Vic; a wonderful and creative person. When raising our three children I attended college and had a Community Information TV show. However, I became the sole support of our family after Vic, a beloved father and husband passed way.
I continued attending college par-time, and in time and in love, married John, a man who just so happens, Vic had admired. When we both retired, John from the railroad where he was an Engineer, and I from State Government Service, where in my last ten years was Program Manager, Research Analyst, and Public Relations Specialist we moved to a hillside community where in addition to community service John edits for me.
Now I am ready to publish On Wings of Immortals - a trilogy based on ancient myths and spirits from the beginning of humanity to times that some scientists speak of humans as having an elemental spirit called "natural tectonics." And is believed, in the ancient "Paracelsian concept," that there are "beings" who live longer than humans, and by marrying a mortal, their offspring can gain a soul.
