People often ask me how I got started in this business, and I thoroughly blame it on my husband. We were both working in television news in Davenport Iowa, when we began dating. He was a video photographer and I was a reporter.
Once, when we were wandering through a bookstore in Chicago, he bought me a copy of Writer’s Market and we began talking about how much fun it would be some day to quit our real jobs and travel around the world writing stories and taking pictures for newspapers and magazines.
Sometimes I pinch myself. Not only have our dreams come true, but we’ve been married 25 years this July 23.
Cinderella should have had it so good.
