Linda Paulette Littlefield

Hi,
Most of the time I go by my middle name, Paulette. I am a midwestern transplant that arrived via the Army from Bamberg, Germany as a military spouse. I'm an elementary teacher and started writing a few years ago. I'm originally from Tennessee and hope to return to the south once I retire. The ex left in 07 to live with a woman he met in a bar ending our 38 1/2 marriage. His leaving sparked intense feelings I had never experienced. I went from cozy mysteries splashed with everyday humor with slurpy kisses to the blissful world of those older sages that lose some of their filters as they become wise from having lived and seen the full circle of life repeat itself, so they do and say whatever comes to mind. The old one's leaving spurred a poem full of venom, a humorous poem about excuses, and a horror/thriller that saved me from being arrested and losing my career. Lucky for me, that night I had seen an advertisement for a horror/thriller short story, so instead of doing something that would make him smile and think he was the winner, and me cry for being foolish, I sat down and poured my feelings into a genre' I didn't think I could do.

I found out about this site, from a dating site. The gentleman mentioned finding him on a writing site. Well, he was too young for me, and I was more interested in checking out this site than him. So here I am.
