Brenda Haas, Author & Freelance Writer

Picture

I love to snuggle into a good book. Reading captures my imagination and takes me exotic places. It is THE perfect hobby with nearly unlimited resources.

Is it any wonder I also love to write? Whether I'm drafting women's fiction, writing a nonprofit press release, or editing a feature for a regional magazine, the stringing of words together to inform and entertain is something I will do for the rest of my years. 

If this site prompts even one person to pick up a book, I've done my job. If this site helps a single writer improve his or her craft, it will have served its purpose. I appreciate you stopping by. 

Keep reading! Keep writing!
