How The Book Came To Be

For years I have been telling people bits and pieces of my life story and many have said to me "Helen, you should write a book".

In October 2002 my children had a big birthday party for me and Fay put together a special life story gift (PDF file) for me and that must have gotten her thinking about my book.  A few weeks later we were together, and Fay said "I will help you write your book, if you really want to do it. I am retired now and have the time, and ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to write". 

That was the beginning. Fay had many good friends in the Real Power Network that encouraged her and Sharron Stockhausen, a friend of Fay's, has a publishing company, expertpublishinginc.com.  Fay and I started with Sharron and her husband Harry and now my book will soon be a reality.
