White Gold - The Leeward Files, #2 - E-book - ePub

People have often asked me why I don't write about my adventures raising six sons. I have to admit that I prefer to write their stories as fiction because no one believes the stuff they put me through if I tell it as fact. In fiction I can clean my boys up a little when I like them and make them the heroes of my stories and if they've pissed me off, I can make them the villains. It's been a running joke around our house that mom will put you in her book and kill you off on page fifty, but some know they're the smelly corpse discovered in the ditch at the very beginning of the story.
Heck, it's not even a threat anymore my grandkids are begging to be put in my books and even telling me how I can kill them off. I mean really, where's the threat in that? We put the fun in dysfunctional, what can I say? I have long conversations with my children and grandchildren about blowing things up and how to get rid of bodies. The holidays are never boring around our house. People have often asked me why I don't write about my adventures raising six sons.
