JULY 2ND QUESTION:  Is there a genre you haven't tried writing in yet that you really want to try? If so, do you plan on trying it? 

There isn't really a genre that I want to try writing since I write romantic mysteries, both contemporary and historical. However, I would like to spend more time and go back to writing short stories again and focus on family life with all its quirks.   

JUNE 4th QUESTION:  What were some books that impacted you as a child or young adult?

Oh, my. I'm probably going to list many that many others also read. There was the "Nancy Drew Series," by Carolyn Keene, "Old Yeller," by Fred Gipson, all the "Little House " books by Laura Ingalls Wilder,  "Trixie Belden" books by Julie Campbell, "Charlotte's Web," by E.B. White,  and "The Box Car Children," by Gertrude Chandler Warner. 

To be honest, "Old Yeller," had a great impact on my life. I hated the ending, but as a farm kid, growing up in Northeastern Pennsylvania, I could relate to the love of animals and the many dogs we  had as companions and playmates. They were also trained to help gather up our herd of cows and always accompanied us whenever and wherever we roamed over the pastures and fields and into the woods. 

The "Little House" series were also my favorites because they told of adventures of a family in the woods, along a creek, on the prairie, over a long winter, etc.--many of the things that children living outside of a city on open lands also experienced. 

I was an avid reader. I was fortunate to have a mother who was also an avid reader. And many thanks go to a local bookmobile which wound its way around our country roads during the summer to bring me reading materials to entertain me.
