What's this?

Bio: I'd like to tell you a little about myself and where I'm coming from. First of all my name, my full name is Rita Phyllis Jane Hestand, a mouth full, huh? I still claim my mother must have been delirious when she named me. Can you imagine having to write that entire name about twenty times in school in one day. Back then they wouldn't let you go by nicknames. That's a direct hint of how old I am.

My parents were pipeliners so I was lucky enough (althought I didn't realize it at the time) to get to travel all over the United States. I've been in all the western states, most of the central and a good handful of the eastern. I've been to school in many of them plus I went to school in Alberta, Canada too. However I was born and partially raised in Texas and that's where I call home. My husband and our fish live in a small rural town in the heart of Texas. We have two daughters and five grandchildren. See our family pages.

I've worked in all kinds of capacities, from waitress to City Employee, but at present I run a Registered Day Care in my home, and of course I write. When you might ask. I've heard it asked often when do you find time to write and work. All I can answer is, if you are a real writer, you'll find the time. In the wee hours of the morning till the wee hours of the night. You make the time because writing is a passion and a need that has to be fulfilled. That's how you know you are one.
