Bio
I was once a kid. My body says I’m not a kid anymore, but my heart tells me something different.
My husband once told a secret to a kid in my church. He told her that I was really a little girl trapped inside my (over 60 year old) body. He thought he was only kidding, but I know better.
When my body was a kid, I lived in northern Indiana. Most of that time I lived in a very small town or on a farm. Later we moved to Tennessee and I fooled the teachers at Middle Tennessee State University into thinking I was a college student.
Then I got really brave and fooled some principals in South Carolina into thinking I was a teacher.
I fooled some more people and got married and had a daughter. I think of her as my sister only now she is getting too old to be a kid so I don’t know what to do about that. She has three children for me to play with. That’s fantastic! I just wish they didn’t live so far away.
I fooled people into believing I was an elementary school library media specialist–at least my principal and the people at the district office thought that. But I don’t believe the kids in my school were fooled. We knew how to have fun even if I did have to remind them that I was still the boss in the library.
Now my body is old enough so I could retire from my library job. Now I’m having more fun than ever fooling people into thinking I’m a writer. I’m writing Bible stories and making my own pictures too. The pictures are made out of fabric.
Please don’t tell anybody I’m really a kid inside. It might spoil all my fun.

Thank you Billie. By the way, I heard your blog radio interview a few minutes ago and now I want to read your book, Look for the Raven.
Hi Janice,
I have been looking for you for years. I think you are the one and only who was my roommate at MTSU and who made my wedding dress. Please email me so I can at least call and talk with you sometime.
You are a wonderful friend whom I greatly appreciate and will never forget. It has been over 40 years and that is much to long to be out of touch.
Please email me as soon as you can.
Take care and God bless you and your family.
Ricki
YES Ricki! It’s really me! I will email and call and look for you on Facebook too! I have looked for you online too and given up. Thanks for leaving a message.
