I was born in Weatherford, Texas, across the street from my grandparent's house. My roots, our four children and thirteen grandchildren live in or around Fort Worth. Texas is my home, regardless of where I hang my hat. During my life I've experienced many accomplishments and received all kinds of kudos from one source or another which brought about sound restful sleep, free of worry. I've also made bad decisions, done stupid things and live with various regrets which leaves me awake at night tossing and turning. From these experiences I tell my stories. I presently live in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. I've written and published the following two books in the past two years and have collaborated with authors of, Coastal Author's Network, to write and publish an anthology as listed below. My newest short story is about a real life experience, explained below. Over my lifetime I've written numerous articles and stories that have been published in various magazines and newspapers. 1.Women of the Plantation - I've been told by historical buffs this book is a must read. Have started writing the second book in the trilogy. 2.My story of Pawleys Island, Told through Art - The paintings in this book are my artwork, accompanied by personal stories. 3.Goin' Postal - A trilogy of stories written by various authors telling about retiring to coastal communities. 4.Alzheimer Patient, Like Me - A short story of a mistake, a freak happenstance that threw me into a memory-impaired unit for a month. This story is about what I learned. Hope my stories give you sweet dreams. Kay Nelson, Author and Artist
