Although one of my deepest wishes is to become a published author, I have already made part of that dream come true by writing everyday. Despite that there is a good chance I may never publish a novel, the mere act of writing blogs, writing short stories and essays, to submit to journals and magazines, or writing pieces of the various novels I am currently working on, gives me a great amount of joy. My passions of writing and reading go hand in hand and finding time to do both makes this journey worth it, despite whether I end up with a contract or not. To be happy at what one does is a joy everyone should feel and I whole heartily recommend it!

I have been in a book club for more than 25 years, which I consider to be one of the greatest joys of my life; the women in the club are so very close to my heart. Together we have shared our lives through discussions of stories we read and how they relate to and affect our own lives. I couldn’t imagine not having those wonderful women and fellow book lovers in my life!

I am also a member of various writers organizations, including my beloved Chatham Writers’ group,  Women Who Write and Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.  Those groups, which are comprised of fellow writers with similar dreams to mine, continue to help me immensely with the craft of writing and my own aspirations.

I work full time as a medical practice manager, substitute teach on the side, and spend time working on my photo related projects.  Some of my other passions include, running, working out, biking, walking and swimming. I also have the greatest four sons,  family and friends a girl could have.

My goals including my dream to publish the various projects I am currently working on, while taking on other writing assignments as I acquire them. I am available for editing, proof-reading, creating resumes, blogging, writing for web-sites, copy-writing or other various writing projects and I can be reached through my blogs by leaving me a comment or through my facebook account, or email:  dmpryer@yahoo.com.

In the meantime, Happy READING AND WRITING!
