![]() ![]() ![]() I knew Celia after that phase of her life was past, and we shared our passion for writing. She taught school for many years and told me how she loved it, and how she missed it after retirement. She received her BS in biology and went on for her Master’s degree in education. She chalked it up to being a fifth-generation Texan, and that might have been part of it, but I believe most of her inner strength came from deep within herself-no matter where she had been born and raised.Ĭelia went to college AFTER she was married and had small children-and that had to be tough. I always admired Celia’s determination and her courage to face whatever life threw her way. We talked about everything over the years. It was comforting to have another new author to talk to about what was going on with our first “babies” being published and pushed out into the cruel world.Ĭelia was “a bit” older than I, and a wonderful combination of big sis/surrogate mom in a lot of ways-but most of all, she was a dear friend. ![]() We went through that “first publishing experience” together, and I hope I was as good a sounding board for her as she was for me. ![]() Celia and I were published within a few months of one another in 2009 (she was first!) by The Wild Rose Press. ![]()
